Synthesis and Evaluation of MgO-Supported Activated Carbon for Carbon dioxide Capture
Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture has emerged as a critical strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing global climate change. In this study, a series of MgO-supported activated carbon adsorbents containing 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt% MgO were successfully synthesized using the impregnation method to evaluate their CO₂ adsorption performance. The structural, chemical, and surface properties of the prepared materials were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform …

Development of Low-GWP Refrigerants for Future Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Applications
Abstract: The growing concern over global warming and the need to mitigate climate change has propelled significant research into the development of low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Traditional refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), have been widely used in the HVAC&R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) industry but contribute significantly to global warming due to their high GWP values. As a result, global regulations, including …
