Membrane Systems for CO2 Capture and Conversion Using Multi-Enzyme Cascades

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the defining technological challenges in today's industry and society. Primary sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) are due to energy generation using fossil fuels as well as key manufacturing activities such cement production and steel making. This project aims to focus on novel approaches to enzyme mediated membrane contactor systems to create robust, high efficiency CO2 capture from post-combustion and other gas emissions and conversion into useful chemical feedstock. Enzyme immobilisation and stabilisation are expected to be enhanced using functionalised nanoparticles and nanostructured membranes.
