Nano-absorbents for CO2 Capture Enhancement

Suitable nanomaterials will be selected to be used as nano-absorbents for CO2 capture (CC). The nano-absorbents will be
suspended in a base fluid used for CC to create a nanofluid. The performance of both the pure base fluid and the developed
nanofluid for CC will be evaluated experimentally in the lab and compared. Similarly, the nanomaterials will be mixed with a
base material for manufacturing a nanocomposite membrane and compare the performance for CC experimentally in the lab
with the base material membrane. Afterwards, a mathematical optimisation model will be developed to optimise the process
parameters for both technologies. Finally, the developed nanofluids and nanocomposite membranes performances for CC will
be compared and analyzed at lab to industrial scales.
