Abstract

The escalating levels of CO2} in recent years have demanded effective solutions and technologies for emissions reduction. The CO2} capture, storage, and transformation allow the opportunity to reduce emissions into the atmosphere and thus mitigate related problems. This study explores novel methods for enhancing the adsorption and removal of CO2} using mesoporous materials. Our approach involves impregnating mesoporous silica SBA-15 with varying proportions (5%, 10%, and 15%) of calcium and magnesium acetate precursors, as well as their oxides and hydroxides. Preliminary experiments showed that magnesium demonstrated superior performance, leading to further investigation using a secondary precursor, magnesium chloride. Subsequent analysis of CO2} adsorption revealed enhanced results with magnesium oxides and hydroxides derived from this second precursor. The findings indicate that optimal adsorption is achieved with 15% Mg(OH)2, 8.09 mmolg/mmol/g, and 15% MgO, 10.12 mmolg/mmol/g, when employing the magnesium chloride precursor. Notably, adsorption increases proportionally with higher material ratios. These results surpass existing literature, showcasing the efficacy of the proposed methodology in achieving superior CO2} adsorption.
