The capture and storage of CO2 in deep geological formations is one of the proposed solutions to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. CO2 is injected as a supercritical fluid deep below a confining geological formation that prevents its return to the atmosphere. A configuration of ... Read More
To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming below 2 K compared to pre-industrial level, significant energy savings in all fields of industries will be required. One example of energy intensive processes in industrial fabrication is heat treatment. The applied ... Read More
This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating ladle furnace preheating. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon ... Read More
Ammonia is studied both as a hydrogen carrier and as a fuel for renewable energy infrastructure. An important advantage of ammonia compared to carbon-based fuels is that it can be oxidized without greenhouse gas emissions, producing only N2 and water. Direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) ... Read More
A mathematical model is developed for the stripping of CO2 from rich solvent. The rich solvent (aqueous NaOH) is used in CO2 absorption from natural gas through gas-liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor. The polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane was fabricated via ... Read More
Optimal storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aquifers requires dissolution in the aqueous phase. Transfer of CO2 from the gas phase to the aqueous phase or oil phase would be slow if it were only driven by diffusion. Dissolution of CO2 in brine (oil) forms a mixture that is denser than the ...

This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating an ensemble averaged electric arc in a laboratory-scale electric arc furnace. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in ... Read More
Geologic carbon storage that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a subsurface sequestration site provides the vital approach for reducing CO2 emissions into atmosphere and thus addressing climate change issue. One challenge associated with CO2 geologic storage is that pore ... Read More
The time-dependent operation of methanol, ammonia, and urea production units embedded in a steel mill technical environment is analyzed with dynamic simulation models. From different process concepts and gas availability scenarios a set of simulation cases is defined with blast furnace ... Read More
The aim of this research is to contribute with the development of Carbon Capture and Storage techniques by studying carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption mechanisms in shale reservoirs. Gas desorption is considered a major gas production mechanism and has a relevant role in shale gas ... Read More
