    C02 Capture via Adsorption Using Silica Gel
    (European Journal of Sustainable Development, 2024-10-01) Pérez-Rial, Leticia; Alfonsín, Víctor; Maceiras, Rocío; Feijoo, Jorge; Vallejo, Javier P.
    This paper investigates the potential of silica gel as an effective adsorbent for C02 capture. The study explores the adsorption mechanisms, the efficiency of C02 upta.ke, and sorne factors influencing the adsorption capacity of silica gel.The experimental results demonstrate the significant potential of silica gel for C02 adsorption under various conditions. Toe adsorption capacity was found to be highly dependent on parameters such as gas flow rate and the particle size of silica gel. The findings suggest that ,vith optimized conditions, silica gel could be a viable material for reducing atmospheric C02 levels. This research contributes to the development of sustainable and efficient technologies for mitigating climate change through carbon dioxide capture and storage.
