How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW
Air Liquide is committed to the energy transition in particular to decarbonize industry and heavy transport. Air Liquide has been developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies for 15 years with the Cryocap solution. Air Liquide has a large laboratory and pilot test platform at the Innovation Campus Paris to innovate in the field of CO2 capture using a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process. Being continuous innovation one of R&D missions innovative adsorbents able to enhance the performances of a PSA need to be studied. Air Liquide has an adsorption process simulation tool that allows to optimize cycles and to design industrial units.
The proposed study is to investigate the possibility of enhancing the performances of the adsorption process by using adsorbent materials with modified crystalline structure compared to the one industrially used.
The objectives of the proposed placement are:
running a literature review on the adsorbents used for the separation of N2/CO2 mixtures;
define possible adsorbents that could be used to enhancePSA performances;
define a datafile for the selected adsorbents;
running PSA cycle for the separation N2/CO2 using the selected adsorbents;
compare the performances with those achieved in the industrial application
run cycle optimization using the selected adsorbents;
Are you a MATCH
