This study evaluates DAC performance when replacing existing sorbents with theoretical ones designed to optimize the process. In order to do so, the adsorption isotherm parameters of CO₂ for different isotherm models were optimized along with process design variables to minimize energy and maximize productivity. Combining equilibrium and rate-based models, our analysis offers insights from thermodynamic, reactor, and economic perspectives.
