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....

Evaluation of Novel Metal-Organic Framework Materials for Adsorptive Post-Combustion CO2 Capture
DownloadFall 2015
The mitigation of CO2 emissions from large anthropogenic sources such as coal-fired power plants by CO2 capture is a challenging engineering problem. Due to the large scale of energy generation, post-combustion CO2 capture processes must be very low-cost for practical implementation. The current...

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...
