Breakthrough curves of CO2 capture using functionalized silica

“In fact, the breakthrough curves at the fixed concentration of CO₂ (12%) in Figure 8 confirmed that: for a continuous process, the optimum was obtained with the APTES20 sample. The breakthrough curve had a higher time of breakpoint, indicating that this sorbent could capture CO₂ for a longer time during an industrial process. The saturation time was lower than the APTES40 sample time, suggesting that faster adsorption kinetics correlates with greater active surface availability.”
