Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) is one of the various methods that can be used to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy sector. The efficiency with which CO2 is absorbed from flue gas using packed columns is highly ...

In the current study, a 3-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model which can tolerate high density ratios is employed to simulate the impingement of a liquid droplet onto a flat and a spherical target. The four phases of droplet ...

The scope of the present thesis is the development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics model to describe the multiphase flow inside a structured packing absorber for postcombustion carbon capture. The work focuses mainly ...

This study examines the GHG emissions associated with producing bio-hydrocarbons via fast pyrolysis of Miscanthus. The feedstock is then upgraded to bio-oil products via hydroprocessing and zeolite cracking. Inventory data ...

This work investigated the deoxygenation reaction in anisole decomposition over HZSM-5 (HZ(25)) zeolite supported bimetallic catalysts to produce benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX). Experiments were performed in order to ...

Pinch-off of a compound jet in 3D glass capillary microfluidic device, which combines co-flowing and countercurrent flow focusing geometries, was investigated using an incompressible three-phase axisymmetric Volume of ...

Pressurised circulating fluidised bed (CFB) technology is a potentially promising development for clean coal technologies. The current work explores the hydrodynamics of a small-scale circulating fluidised bed at elevated ...

This work investigates the deoxygenation reaction during the decomposition of anisole (methoxy-rich model compound of lignin) over bi-functional catalyst. The bi-functional catalyst consisted of a single metal loaded on ...

This work investigated the decomposition of anisole (methoxyl-based lignin model compound) in a fluidized bed reactor over no catalysts and a series of HZSM-5 zeolite catalysts with different Si/Al atomic ratios. ...

Post-combustion carbon capture in structured packing columns is considered as a promising technology to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because of its maturity and the possibility of being retrofitted to existing ...
