| Description | Two novel techniques to characterize the fundamental properties of the interactions of carbon dioxide on novel wetted nanoporous materials have been developed. A rapid heating system based on a purposely designed microwave system has been used to study the efficiency of this approach to reduce the energy penalty and size of carbon capture units. A novel flow system has been developed to study the performance of novel mesoporous materials wetted with highly selective solvents. These fundamental properties are needed to evaluate the carbon capture processes based on these materials and regeneration techniques. |
| Exploitation Route | The results form the basis for further research into these novel approaches applied to capture of carbon dioxide from industrial sources. |
