Abstract

The rising carbon emissions challenge global environmental sustainability and climate stability. This study aims to advance climate change mitigation by integrating fly ash and natural surfactant into CO2 sequestration strategies. Fly ash, a by-product of industrial processes, presents an opportunity for innovative reuse. By combining fly ash with a natural surfactant extracted from soybean seeds, both industrial waste management and greenhouse gas reduction can be addressed. The surfactant was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, surface tension, and electrical conductivity measurements, confirming saponin presence with a critical micelle concentration of 0.3 wt%. Pressure decay studies revealed that a (5 wt% fly ash + NS) demonstrated the highest CO2 absorption, supported by microscopic analysis. Further research on optimizing reaction conditions and kinetics of mineralization could enhance this method's efficiency and scalability for broader application.
