Adsorption of CO2 by Activated Carbon from Date Stones Filled into a Local Design of Automobile Exhaust

Abstract

Carbon dioxide gas, CO2 with high levels in the aircreates very serious global problem linked to the climaticchanges, mostly in relation to anthropogenic emission sources.Adsorption process is among many effective techniques forremoving such gas from the air. In this study, an attempt hasbeen made to investigate the effectiveness of activated carbon(AC). obtained from easy available agricultural by-productsdates stones (DS) in capturing CO2 emissions from mobilesources, during which carbon-containing automobiles fuels areburned. AC is filled into an automobile exhaust using a glassmodel design and a stream of CO2 was supplied from cylinder.During the removal process, the effect of the AC adsorbents oncapturing CO2 was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy. Thedegree of turbidity and pH change of solutions as an affect ofcontact with CO2 were also investigated
