FACULTY ADVISOR Name: Dr. S. Suresh Designation: Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Dept. Qualification: Ph.D. (IIT Roorkee), M. E., B. Tech Specialization: Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering Area of Interest: Energy and Biochemical Engineering
The carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate. The level has reached around 400 ppm as recent report by Dept. of Energy,2012 reveals. Leading to global warming and further consequences. PROBLEM
Mineral sequestration Geological sequestration Ocean sequestration Existing SOLUTION
MINERAL SEQUESTRATION Reaction of CO2 with Mg and Ca containing minerals to form carbonates. Olivine (MgSiO4) and wollastonite (CaSiO3)
GEOLOGICAL SEQUESTRATION CO2 is injected into underground formations. Types of formations: Depleted oil fields Unmineable coal fields.
OCEANIC SEQUESTRATION Direct injection of CO2 in deep areas of ocean.
BIOLOGICAL SEQUESTRATION • Micro-algae is used to capture CO2. • Biomass so produced can be further processed and used.
Different ionic materials(olivine concrete, lithium aluminate) are used. Optimization of result through Aspen Tech. Liquid absorption technique
Sun Solar Panel Regulator Solvent Unabsorbed CO2 Energy Absorption Column Biomass For Further Processing CO2 CO2 Solvent A HYBRID SOLUTION Micro Algae cultivation reactor Micro Algae Cultivation Reactor
For solvent absorption technique: Green materials/ ionic solvent Absorption Tower For Biological sequestration: Seeds for Algae growth Nutrients Reactor Materials Required
