Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is quickly being recognized as one of the crucial climate change mitigation technologies. However, direct capture of CO₂ from air remains a problematic technical and economic challenge. In our study, Zeolite 13X was synthesized from bentonite raw material by alkaline fusion followed by hydrothermal treatment in the absence of an external silica or alumina source. Under controlled laboratory conditions, the performance of the material in a compact and energy-efficient DAC system was evaluated.
