The physicochemical properties of both the prepared and ion-exchanged zeolites were thoroughly analyzed. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) micrographs revealed that the synthesized zeolites exhibited an “ice cube”-shaped morphology, and this morphology was maintained even after the ion exchange process. N 2 adsorption/desorption studies indicated a typical type IV isotherm with an H3 hysteresis loop for both the prepared and Cu 2+ ion-exchanged zeolites. CO 2 adsorption data followed a type I isotherm, with the highest adsorption capacity of 4.02 mmol/g observed for the 0.1 M Cu 2+ ion-exchanged zeolites. The adsorption behavior was modeled using a nonlinear isotherm, with good agreement between experimental and fitted data.
