Abstract
In this work, ACs were originated from two different bio-waste sources of Date and Jujube seeds (DS and JS). The influence of the precursor type as well as KOH chemical activator ratio on the structural properties and CO2 adsorption performances of synthesized ACs were assessed. Impact of pre-treatment of raw material via functionalization with urea on the performance of prepared adsorbents was also evaluated. Functionalized DS-based AC possessed the highest surface area and largest micropore volume equal to 864 m2/g and 0.33 cm3/g, respectively. CO2 adsorption behavior of ACs was experimentally evaluated via TGA at different adsorption temperatures of 25 and 50 °C and CO2 concentrations of 10 and 90 vol% under atmospheric pressure. Based on the TGA results, functionalized and non-functionalized DS-prepared ACs with KOH: biochar weight ratio of 2:1, demonstrated great CO2 capture capacity up to 1.3 and 1.2 mmol/g, respectively under realistic condition of 10 vol% CO2 and 25 °C. The urea-nitrogenation and KOH-activation as economical and simple approaches sensitively assisted preparation of a novel and promising N-doped porous AC from bio-waste resources which can be exploited for superior CO2 capture applications.

The Production of Industrial-Grade Oxygen from Air by Pressure Swing Adsorption. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 2023.

Abstract
Oxygen, an odorless and colorless gas constituent of the atmosphere, is a vital gas component for the Earth, as it makes up 21% of the composition of the air we breathe. Apart from the importance of oxygen for human breathing, its highly pure form is demanding for industrial applications. As such, several technologies have been established to increase the oxygen purity from 21% to somewhat higher than 95%. One of the competitive technologies for producing this high-purity oxygen from the air is through pressure swing adsorption (PSA), which has the advantages of low cost and energy while being highly efficient. Also, PSA is a simple and flexible system due to its ability to start up and shut down more rapidly since its operation occurs at ambient temperature, which is enabled through the use of adsorbents to bind and separate the air molecules. The enhancement of the PSA’s performances was reported through the modification of PSA step cycles and material (zeolite) tailoring. A simplified complete set of a mathematical model is included for modelling the PSA system, aiming to ease the experimental burden of the process design and optimization of an infinite modification of PSA step cycles. Finally, some technological importance of oxygen production via PSA, particularly for onboard oxygen generation system and oxy-enriched incineration of municipal solid waste, was discussed. Continuous development of PSA will make significant contributions to a wide range of chemical industries in the near future, be it for oxygen production or other gas separation applications.

Comparative Study of Zn Loading on Advanced Functional Zeolite NaY from Bagasse Ash and Rice Husk Ash for Sustainable CO2 Adsorption with ANOVA and Factorial Design. ATMOSPHERE 2022.

Abstract
The objectives of the research were to develop synthesis and estimation of each factor on carbon dioxide adsorption of advanced functional zeolite NaY material derived from bagasse ash and rice husk ash with different crystallization temperatures and weight percentages of zinc by the ion exchange method. The adsorbents were tested in a packed bed reactor at different temperatures and flow rates of carbon dioxide. The Minitab program was used to estimate the effects of each factor on carbon dioxide adsorption properties. The results showed that extracted silicon dioxide from bagasse ash and rice husk ash could be successfully used as raw material for zeolite NaY synthesis with a crystallization temperature of 298.15 K. The zeolite NaY crystalline structure was well-preserved after ion exchange. The highest capacity of carbon dioxide adsorption was at 10.33 mmol/g with zeolite 5B298-373-1. The results of the Minitab program showed that the carbon dioxide adsorption decreased with increasing crystallization temperature and carbon dioxide flow rate parameters. However, the increased weight percentage of zinc loading on zeolite NaY resulted in better carbon dioxide adsorption. The factors of the types of adsorbents and adsorption temperature showed interaction with each other.

Abstract
Carbon capture from large sources and ambient air is one of the most promising strategies to curb the deleterious effect of greenhouse gases. Among different technologies, CO2 adsorption has drawn widespread attention mostly because of its low energy requirements. Considering that water vapor is a ubiquitous component in air and almost all CO2-rich industrial gas streams, understanding its impact on CO2 adsorption is of critical importance. Owing to the large diversity of adsorbents, water plays many different roles from a severe inhibitor of CO2 adsorption to an excellent promoter. Water may also increase the rate of CO2 capture or have the opposite effect. In the presence of amine-containing adsorbents, water is even necessary for their long-term stability. The current contribution is a comprehensive review of the effects of water whether in the gas feed or as adsorbent moisture on CO2 adsorption. For convenience, we discuss the effect of water vapor on CO2 adsorption over four broadly defined groups of materials separately, namely (i) physical adsorbents, including carbons, zeolites and MOFs, (ii) amine-functionalized adsorbents, and (iii) reactive adsorbents, including metal carbonates and oxides. For each category, the effects of humidity level on CO2 uptake, selectivity, and adsorption kinetics under different operational conditions are discussed. Whenever possible, findings from different sources are compared, paying particular attention to both similarities and inconsistencies. For completeness, the effect of water on membrane CO2 separation is also discussed, albeit briefly.

Zeolite Synthesis Using Imidazolium Cations as Organic Structure-Directing Agents. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
Imidazolium-derivative cations are very interesting molecules used as organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) for zeolite synthesis, widening the possibilities of new materials and applications in this research area. In this review, the studies performed at LABPEMOL using this kind of compound are presented after a quick overview on imidazolium derivatives. The first zeolite synthesis results that started this research study were obtained with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. Then, the design of new OSDAs based on the imidazolium cation, such as 1,2,3-triethylimidazolium, 2-ethyl-1,3-dimethylimidazolium and 1,2,3-triethyl-4-methylimidazolium, is reported. Afterwards, the structure-direction effect caused by the introduction of heteroatoms with already-published imidazolium derivatives (for example, the Al3+ insertion into zeolite frameworks with two different OSDAs and the silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) synthesis using 2-ethyl-1,3,4 trimethylimidazolium cations) is discussed. Finally, we also present a quick overview of some achievements of other laboratories.

Abstract
The development of technologies that allow us to reduce CO2 emissions is mandatory in today's society. In this regard, we present herein a comparative study of CO2 adsorption over three types of materials: zeolites, layered double hydroxides (LDH), and zeolites coated LDH composites. The influence of the zeolite Si/Al ratio on zeolites sorption capacity along with the presence of mesopores was investigated. By comparing these results with the well-known performance of LDHs, we aim to provide insights on the factors that may influence the CO2 capture capacity over zeolites, thus providing useful tools for tuning their properties upon post-treatments.
