EU funding (€175,920): Fast testing of multicomponent adsorption and diffusion in porous materials Hor16 Apr 2024 EU Research and Innovation programme "Horizon"

Fast testing of multicomponent adsorption and diffusion in porous materials
The European Green Deal aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The industrial sector accounts for ca. 45% of carbon dioxide emissions, stemming from energy-intensive processes like power generation and chemical mixture purifications. Adsorptive separations by nanoporous materials have emerged as a promising platform for energy-efficient industrial purification and carbon sequestration. However, to evaluate the performance of an adsorbent and design a separation process, it is crucial to understand the adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics. Measuring multicomponent adsorption is complex and time-consuming, and adsorption kinetics are even more challenging to measure. As a result, multicomponent diffusion measurements are rare due to the constraints of current measurement methods. By bridging adsorption/diffusion studies and microfabrication, the FAST-MAP project will develop a new methodology to overcome the challenges of measuring multicomponent isotherms and diffusivities. Via a novel approach to realize out-of-equilibrium conditions combined with mass spectrometry, the behaviour of fast-diffusing molecules will be thoroughly evaluated, even in small adsorbent particles and in both single- and multicomponent scenarios. This approach will enable the rapid evaluation and selection of adsorbents for separation processes, thereby accelerating progress towards the zero-emissions target of the EU. The FAST-MAP project bridges the candidate's strong background in porous materials with the host group's extensive experience in microfabrication, making it a feasible undertaking.
