Measuring heat capacity of activated carbons for CO2 capture

Capturing CO2 with solid adsorbents can be often limited by heat transfer during the regeneration process rather than mass transfer during the adsorption process. The use of a low-heat capacity adsorbent would result in a lower energy penalty for the regeneration step. Specific heat capacity (Cp) da...
