Nano-CarbonCapS - Next Generation Carbon Capture (CCS) Technologies for Industrial Post Combustion Processes
The scope of Nano-CarbonCapS is to develop a small-scale, portable intensified membrane device that delivers more effective CO2 capture (CCS) compared to incumbent technologies, whose deployment is not confined to large-scale power plants (as incumbent systems), but also in smaller localized sites. The device to be developed in this proposal will be designed for CO2 removal but could equally be used to remove pollutants such as NOx, CO, CH4, H2S and SO2.
By the end of the project, a prototype device will have been developed and demonstrated at an industrial site, reaching a TRL between 6 and 7. The innovative nature of this work lies in the combination of a novel intensified nanofibrous membrane reactor (IMR) with different forms of ionic liquids (ILs) and/or Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs), the design of which will be fully optimized via computational modelling to achieve the highest efficiency of CO2 removal: harnessing atomistic modelling to optimize the membrane structure and material selection and computational dynamics for the design parameters and operating conditions.
