The performed analysis has excessive worldwide customary and shut collaborations world wide.

The Division of Vitality Science at Luleå College of Know-how has an open PhD place within the topic of Vitality Engineering. Your analysis research will concentrate on creating hybrid solvents for CO2 separation.

Topic description
Vitality engineering issues the event of applied sciences and processes to be able to construct a sustainable vitality provide. The analysis focuses on bioenergy applied sciences and vitality effectivity in trade and society.

Challenge description 
It is a four-year PhD venture, with monetary help from the EU and cooperation with different universities and institutes. It’s going to even be carried out in shut collaboration with one other PhD pupil from RISE/LTU. The general purpose of the venture is to develop hybrid solvents for CO2 separation. The work is principally on experimental measurements, testing, and course of evaluations.

Throughout the PhD analysis venture, we are going to establish and develop hybrid absorbents to enhance CO2 absorption capability and reduce vitality demand for CO2 separation and seize from the gasoline streams, the place each theoretical screening and lab testing will likely be mixed. The method will likely be simulated and optimized.
