Projects and Research

Carbon Capture and Storage (Master Thesis)
Group project team lead in the detailed design of a carbon capture and storage plant to
remove CO2 from the flue gas of cement industry. Designed a circulating fluidized bed for
continuous CO2 capture using solid adsorbent looping technology. Researched and
developed high density ultra-microporous carbon materials equipped with a proportionate
mix of ultramicropores, micropores and macropores displaying high yield and superior CO2
adsorption potentia
