This paper presents evaluations of carbonate and zeolitic materials usefulness from point of view application of them as carbon dioxide sorbents. For all selected materials mineralogical examinations (XRD, SEM analysis and observation in transmitted light) were conducted. Also textural characteristics (the BET surface area, mean pore diameter, pore size distribution and volume of pores) were carried out. An essential research has constituted CO2 adsorption. CO2 adsorption tests revealed that carbonate rocks have poor adsorption properties, their sorption capacity does not exceed 0.1 mmol/g. Therefore, they should be examined from the viewpoint of their application in mineral carbonation. However zeolites shown much better CO2 adsorption parameters, thus, they can be subjected to further examinations (modification/activation) in order to determine selective and dynamic adsorption of CO2.
