Abstract
The structure of ZSM-25, a RHO family zeolite, was resolved recently. Recent reports focused on Na-ZSM-25 as a promising CO2 adsorbent with high CO2 working capacity and exceptional CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity for pressure swing adsorption. However, these reports discuss single-gas adsorption performance of Na-ZSM-25 and are unable to provide the CO2/CH4 separation behavior in practical scenarios where the adsorption is performed using mixed gases. Furthermore, Na-ZSM-25 suffers from slow adsorption kinetics that limits its industrial applications. In this study, Li+/ZSM-25 zeolites (LZZs) are developed to enhance the CO2 adsorption kinetics without compromising selectivity. The adsorption per..
