Abstract Adsorption capacities of C ­ H4, ­CO2, CO, ­N2 and H ­ 2 on NaY zeolite were measured at 298 K, 318 K, 338 K and 358 K with pressure ranged from 0 to 10 bar. The order of adsorption capacity was C ­ O2 ≫ ­CH4 > CO > N2 ≫ ­H2. The experiment data were fitted by the Langmuir, Toth and Sips equations. The fitting relativity of above models were also compared. Moreover, the isosteric heat of adsorption were calculated by the Clausius–Clapeyron equation, the results showed that the adsorption ­ 2 is the smallest. Finally, heat of C ­ O2 is the largest (41.89764 kJ/mol with adsorption loading of 5.8 mmol/g) and that of H the selectivity of binary mixture was predicted according to the IAS theory.

1 Introduction Global warming, which leads to glacier melting, extreme weather, has become one of the worst global issues nowadays. Caused by greenhouse gas (mainly ­CO2) emission, more attentions have be paid to C ­ O2 capture (Lopes et al. 2009). ­H2, widely used in petroleum, metallurgy, medicine, and aerospace, is regarded as a relatively clean secondary energy source to solve the energy crisis and global warming owning to its high calorific value and no greenhouse gases emitting (Wenrong et al. 2018). As we know, hydrogen could be produced by fossil fuels or electrolysis of water. Due to the high cost of electrolyzed water, 90% of hydrogen is obtained through fossil fuels, especially natural gas. First, natural gas is converted to syngas through gasification or Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (https​://doi.org/10.1007/s1045​0-020-00205​-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * Donghui Zhang [email protected] 1

reforming. After the process, it is followed by a water gas shift (WGS) (Song et al. 2009). Undergoing the above pretreatment, the syngas, comprised of ­CO2, CO, ­N2, ­CH4, and ­H2, could be used in the following separation. To obtain high-purity hydrogen and capture C ­ O2, various separation processes have been developed. Among the available technologies, adsorption is the dominant separation method because of its simple process and low energy consumption, which has been widely used in the separation and purification of gas mixture. Therefore, it is crucial to get some parameters
