The proposed research seeks to investigate an energy-efficient, yet cost-effective method to capture CO2 from the biomass combustion [power] plants in the UK. This aligns very well with the chemical engineering department's research strategies i.e. "clean energies", as well as that of the Institute of Energy Futures. In further support of this PhD research proposal, I have just been awarded the BRIEF research fund (£15k) to conduct a closely-related research in CO2 capture, supporting the design and fabrication of a lab-scale rig and the required equipment for material synthesis - significantly reinforcing the success of this PhD research proposal. The project comprises three core work packages i.e. the synthesis and modification of adsorbent materials, the experimental CO2 capture on a lab-scale adsorption/desorption rig, designed, built and tested at Brunel, and finally, the simulation of an actual CO2 capture process based on the cost-effective synthesised adsorbents. 100175 30100143 70 2 Therefore, the project inherently sets out several cross-disciplinary research work packages and can thus, boasts the establishment of joint collaborations between the Institute of Energy Futures and the Institute of Manufacturing and Materials right from the beginning. Given the adverse impacts of global warming and climate change on the environment along with the key role that CO2 capture plays to mitigate this - as highlighted in the recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and emphasised by the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) - I expect the project to effectively facilitate a relatively new cross disciplinary research area (CO2 capture) to be born within the College with a clear potential for the involvement of other colleagues across the institutes and the departments. In addition, I have also obtained the agreement of a former colleague of mine at Imperial College, Dr Niall Mac Dowell - an expert in CO2 capture, who is willing to provide feedback and advice as well as access to the available resources within the Chemical Engineering Department at Imperial College, if/when required and hence, extending our collaboration within this PhD proposal.

拟议的研究旨在研究一种节能，但具有成本效益的方法来捕获英国生物质燃烧[发电]厂的二氧化碳。这与化学工程系的研究战略非常一致，即“清洁能源”，以及能源期货研究所的研究战略。为了进一步支持这项博士研究计划，我刚刚获得了BRIEF研究基金（1.5万英镑），用于进行与二氧化碳捕获密切相关的研究，支持实验室规模的钻机和材料合成所需设备的设计和制造-显着加强了这项博士研究计划的成功。该项目包括三个核心工作包，即吸附材料的合成和改性，在Brunel设计，建造和测试的实验室规模的吸附/解吸装置上的实验性CO2捕获，以及最后，基于成本效益的合成吸附剂的实际CO2捕获过程的模拟。100175 30100143 70 2因此，该项目本身就提出了几个跨学科的研究工作包，因此可以从一开始就在能源期货研究所和制造和材料研究所之间建立联合合作。 考虑到全球变暖和气候变化对环境的不利影响沿着二氧化碳捕获在缓解这一影响方面的关键作用-正如政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）最近的报告所强调的那样，英国碳捕获和储存研究中心（UKCCSRC）也强调了这一点-我希望该项目能够有效地促进一个相对较新的跨学科研究领域（CO2捕获）将在学院内诞生，并有明确的潜力让各研究所和部门的其他同事参与进来。此外，我还获得了我在帝国理工学院的前同事Niall Mac Dowell博士的同意，他是一位二氧化碳捕获专家，他愿意提供反馈和建议，并在需要时访问帝国理工学院化学工程系内的可用资源，因此，在此博士论文中扩展了我们的合作。
