SBA-15 and MCM-48 mesoporous materials were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method and impregnated with nickel in proportions of 5-20 wt.% aiming to capture CO2. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, N2 adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. CO2> capture tests were conducted at pressures between 100 and 4000 KPa at a constant temperature of 298 K and showed that the adsorption capacities vary significantly with the textural properties of these materials with different contents of nickel, reaching maximum values of 14.89 and 9.97 mmol g-1 for MCM-48 and SBA-15, respectively.
