Overview

Worldwide emissions of CO2 are increasing. CO2 is captured directly from the air which contains approximately 400 ppm. Many materials are used to capture the CO2 including metal organic frameworks, zeolites, silica-aluminas and liquid amines. Breakthrough consists of a collection of adsorption data under constant flow by measuring the concentration of gases at the outlet of an adsorption column over time. This provides information on selectivity and adsorption capacity of the material. One of the main advantages of the system is that it can mimic direct air capture plants process conditions and give valuable information of the material under test.
