Quantifying the quantity of CO2 adsorbed by the membrane requires multiple processes, which are important to examine CO2 capture simulation on activated carbon filters in a duct. First, employing activated carbon filters, an experimental setup or simulation model must be created to mimic the CO2 capture conditions inside the duct. To ascertain the activated carbon's relevant characteristics for CO2 adsorption, such as surface area, pore size distribution, and functional groups, characterization is essential. The relationship between the concentration of CO2 in the gas phase and the amount adsorbed by the filters is then determined via adsorption isotherm tests or simulations.

The amount of CO2 adsorbed is then determined by mass balance calculations that take into account the gas flow rate, adsorption capacity, and concentrations at the input and output. In addition, CO2 adsorption behavior under various operating conditions can be predicted using mathematical models or computational simulations; the quality of these predictions is ensured by confirmation against experimental data. This scientific methodology allows for the development of CO2 capture applications for increased efficiency by providing data on the CO2 capture performance of activated carbon filters in ducts.
