Data for the adsorption of CO2 on 5A (CaA) and 13X (NaX) zeolite are critically evaluated. In addition, fresh data for the adsorption of CO2 on 13X zeolite is reported. Three intrinsic properties are examined: q max , the saturation loading, K H , the Henry constant, and (−ΔH) q , the isosteric heat of sorption. Below a reduced temperature T r , of 0.9, the q max values for both 5A and 13X zeolites are similar to theoretical values that may be derived using zeolitic crystallographic properties and the sorbate density calculated using the Rackett equation. For the region 0.9 ≤ Tr ≤ 1.0, the calculated q max values exceed the theoretical values similarly calculated, indicating that the molecules have a smaller molar volume than in a similar liquid phase. This is a similar result to that observed in ionic liquids. Linear regressed equations are derived for q max for the region 0.9 ≤ Tr ≤ 1.25. The Henry constant values for 5A are remarkably consistent for the five studies examined, with a correlation coefficient, R, of 0.999 for the van’t Hoff equation, but for the seven studies examined in 13X the data is more disperse as indicated by a correlation coefficient R of 0.899 for the van’t Hoff equation. The values of (−ΔH) q , the isosteric heat of sorption are in agreement with the literature. An explanation is advanced for the discrepancy between the higher heats of sorption values obtained calorimetrically from those obtained from isosteric adsorption studies. Finally, the fresh data is observed to fit the Toth model with regression coefficients of 0.999. However, the parameters obtained for the Toth equation by regression are significantly different from the intrinsic properties derived earlier, indicating the difficulty of deriving intrinsic parameters from isotherm fits.
