Abstract

High purity molecular trapdoor chabazite with an optimal Si/Al ratio (1:9) was prepared from fly ash. Gas adsorption isotherms and binary breakthrough experiments show dramatically large selectivities for CO₂ over N₂ and CH₄, which are the highest among physisorbents at operating temperatures suitable for postcombustion carbon capture and natural gas separations.
