The explanation of Equation 1 Adsorption capacity of CO2 on adsorbents (1 g) )at a certain time is calculated using Equation 1. Where qa is the adsorption capacity of CO2, mmol g-1; M is the weight of adsorbent, g; Q and Qou are the inlet and outlet gas flow rate, cm3 min-1; C0 and C are influent and effluent CO2 concentrations, vol.%; t denotes as time, min; T0 is 273 K and T is the gas temperature, K; Vm is 22.4 cm3 mmol-1. qa =
T 1 t 1 × (Q × C 0 − Qou × C )dt × 0 × M 0 T Vm

And Qou can be calculated using Equation 2.
Qou × (1 − C ) = Q × (1 − C0 )

So we can obtain the Equation 3 from Equation 1 and 2. qa =
C − C T0 1 t 1 × Q× 0 × dt × M 0 1− C T Vm
