High pressure carbon dioxide adsorption processes are employed in applications such as carbon dioxide capture and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption has gained wide attention because of the promising materials that are developed for this application....

Batch Adsorber Analogue Model for Rapid Screening of Large Adsorbent Databases for Post - Combustion CO2 Capture
DownloadSpring 2019
Subramanian Balashankar, Vishal
A simplified proxy model based on a well-mixed batch adsorber for vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) based carbon dioxide capture from dry post-combustion flue gas is presented. A graphical representation of the model output allows for the rationalization of broad trends of process performance. The...

Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Optimization of the reaction conditions of two enzymes for use in a carbon sequestration process, and investigation into immobilization via encapsulation within polymersomes
DownloadFall 2016
Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities contribute to an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In nature, this gas is sequestered through the use of enzymes found in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, with useful molecules such as sugars being synthesized as products. A biomimetic...
