Current Projects

Design and Development of Structured beds for Direct Air Capture

This research investigates the performance of structured bed in selective removal of CO2 from direct air capture (400 ppm) under dry and humid conditions. Besides exploring the practical application, understanding the interplay of fundamental aspects, like, mass transfer and dispersion on Process KPIs is of high priority.

Mixed Matrix Modules for Post Combustion CO2 capture

This research aims towards the design of steam-TSA cycle for adsorptive separation of CO2 from simulated dry and humid flue gas compositions. Besides, the current study also address the comparison between a packed bed and a structured bed.

Adsorbent Screening for Blue Hydrogen

The major focus here is to develop a suitable adsorbent that attributes to linear CO2 isotherm with greater working capacity between 15 to 1 bar. The idea here is to promote the generation of blue hydrogen which can later be used as a fuel.

Amine based Inorganic Sorbents

The idea here is to understand adsorption of CO2 on amine sorbents grafted on to different substrates over a wide range of humidity to explore the co-operative mechanism at different temperatures.
