The results revealed that activated carbon modified with potassium acetate (ACPA) exhibited remarkably high CO2 adsorption capacity of 116.5 mg/g and breakthrough time of 54 min at 25°C and 15% inlet CO2 concentration. Furthermore, ACPA demonstrated good regeneration ability even after seven adsorption-desorption cycles.
