	Zeolites, renowned for their versatile applications in catalysis, adsorption, and ion exchange, have long been synthesized using conventional batch processes. However, the inherent limitations of these methods, such as resource-intensive conditions and inconsistent product quality, underscore the need for a sustainable and efficient approach. In this study, a continuous flow synthesis process was established for the synthesis of industrially important low silica X (LSX) zeolite using a tubular reactor. The synthesis gel was subjected to aging for 5 days at room temperature to facilitate nucleation and crystal growth combined with the fast-heating rate in a tubular reactor at 363 K \&amp; 1.1 atm., which in turn produces LSX after 40 min. The synthesized product was confirmed by the XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, XRF, TEM, and N2 adsorption-desorption; the data was compared with the LSX sample synthesized by batch process. The result implies that LSX prepared by continuous flow has a pure phase of LSX with the hierarchical structure, which provides better adsorption capacity of CO2 at 298 K up to 20 bar. Due to continuous flow synthesis, the crystallization time was reduced and faster kinetics which may be helpful for scale-up the process for LSX synthesis.</p>
