Table 5: Experimental data of ZCAF samples. ZIF-8 content could lead to a less flexible or more brittle material, potentially limiting the practical application of the ZCAF filters in environments requiring mechanical robustness. The figure suggests that the ZCAF filters' performance can be fine-tuned by adjusting the pulp-to-powder ratio. This opens up opportunities for designing customized filters for specific applications, where the balance between CO2 capture efficiency and mechanical strength can be tailored to the needs of the end-user scenario. The positive correlation between the pulp-to-powder ratio and CO2 loading efficiency indicates that the approach could be scalable. Higher ZIF-8 content in the composite might translate well into larger-scale applications where maximizing CO2 adsorption is critical. However, considerations around the cost and complexity of producing such high-loading composites would be important for industrial viability. The improvement in CO2 loading with higher ZIF-8 content suggests that the microstructure of the composite--specifically the distribution and accessibility of pores--plays a crucial role. This highlights the importance of controlling the microstructural characteristics during the synthesis process to achieve optimal performance.
