Abstract : The adsorption equilibria of carbon dioxide on a commercial granular activated carbon (GAC) and an ammoniamodified
GAC (OXA-GAC) were investigated over the temperature and pressure range of 303 to 333 K and up to pressures
of 1 atm. To distinguish the contribution of chemisorption and physisorption mechanisms to the overall CO2 adsorption, we
developed a semi-empirical equilibrium model. A non-linear regression method was employed to estimate the best fitting
parameters corresponding to the isotherm model. An analysis of the calculated statistical parameters indicated that the
proposed model successfully fit the experimental data over the entire analyzed ranges of temperature and pressure. The
initial isosteric enthalpy of adsorption calculated using the Clausius–Clapeyron equation indicated a sharp increase in CO2–
adsorbent interaction after ammonia modification of the untreated adsorbent, consistent with a dramatic uptake of CO2 at low
partial pressures. The heats of adsorption calculated using the temperature-dependent parameters of the proposed model for
physisorption and chemisorption of CO2 onto the modified adsorbent were in excellent agreement with the heats of
adsorption obtained from the experimental data.
