Carbon dioxide capture

Obiettivo

This proposal describes the reintegration of a researcher back into the country of origin. The researcher is in the first year of a 34-month contract working on an innovative project with very significant potential benefit to European industry. A total project cost of 150k is anticipated including a requested EC contribution of 40k. The proposal centres on the capture of a carbon dioxide (CO2), from combustion processes. Success will be achieved by developing membrane technology based on selective oxide -ion-conducting materials in the form of hollow fibres.

The membrane will exclude nitrogen from the methane fuel and consequently no NOx pollutants will be produced. Additionally there is no need for an expensive nitrogen/CO2 separation stage should CO2 b e used in a further process or indeed sequestered. The researcher has acquired a broad range of technical knowledge in a number of previous catalysis-focused projects. Recent participation in the HiT Proton RTN provided excellent training in the field of solid-state electrochemistry and catalysis. The new project described here provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience and knowledge within the field. Additionally the researcher will be directly involved in the supervision of PhD student s and will be expected to take the next steps in establishing himself in a leadership role through increased national and international profile. This will further develop the researcher's links within Europe; strong links already existing as a result of Hi T Proton.

The researcher's current position includes undergraduate teaching responsibilities and activities such as proposal writing. This contributes to the quality of the host institute and expands further the researcher's expertise. It is expected that high quality, independent research ideas will follow leading to grant awards in the increasingly important field of membrane technology.
