Nano-Carbon Caps

Nano-Carbon Caps

The Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation (OEB) participates in the collaboration network of research project “Novel Nano-Enhanced Carbon Capture Systems for Industrial Post Combustion Processes”, with the acronym Nano-Carbon Caps, which is funded by the Research & Innovation Foundation (RIF).

The project’s general objective is the development, operation, and evaluation of an innovative carbon dioxide capture system, based on:

• the application of hydrophobic nanofibrous membranes in an intensified carbon dioxide separation and capture reactor,
• the replacement of the absorbent amines used in state-of-the-art reactors with ionic liquids,
• the verification and optimisation of the system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling.
