Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a growing field in the fight against climate change, but testing the efficiency of sorbent materials under realistic conditions remains a challenge. Our latest application note dives deep into the performance of zeolite 13X, a widely used sorbent, to capture CO₂ directly from the atmosphere at low concentrations.

14 Alongside the DVS Carbon and DVS Vacuum systems, the BTA Frontier stands out as a revolutionary platform for high throughput breakthrough analysis under real-world conditions. It enables precise evaluation of multi-component sorption, including the critical interplay between CO₂ and humidity, which can drastically impact capture performance.

Key insights from the study reveal the significant effects of water vapor on CO₂ uptake, emphasizing the importance of testing sorbents under both dry and humid environments. The BTA Frontier’s advanced capabilities were instrumental in uncovering these findings, providing dynamic flow data that traditional methods often miss.

Whether you’re developing DAC technologies or researching sorbent materials, this application note offers a glimpse into how zeolite 13X performs under atmospheric conditions.
