I am working on CO2 capture with amine-based nanofluids, which have shown a better performance in gas absorption process compared to their base fluids. However, their mass transfer mechanisms are still ambiguous. In this project, one of our primary aims is to clarify these mechanisms. We are also interested in prolonging the stability of such systems, as the main challenge facing the wide application of nanofluids. I am working under supervision of Jana Popsteinova Jakobsen, Brian Arthur Grimes and Sulalit Bandyopadhyay. We believe that the results of our work can be beneficial not only to carbon capture but also in other gas-liquid systems containing nanoparticles.
My background in chemical engineering, simulating the behavior of nanofluids as well as CO2 capture processes, and also the experience in nanoparticles' synthesis will help me to successfully investigate such systems both theoretically and experimentally, and hopefully make a satisfactory contribution to understanding their behavior.
