Development of new sorbents for the Carbon Capture Technology

The Gas Hydrate Facility (GHF) of the University of Chieti-Pescara is specialized in CCS technologies and other high-pressure processes, is equipped with patented reactors to study the aspects of interest of processes under specific conditions. We are able to produce innovative materials based on intrinsically low-risk, environmentally sustainable and cheap starting materials, to enable a promising, safe and green alternative to the current separation techniques. The group can perform a wide set of different characterizations, including physical-chemical characterization before and after CO2 adsorption, tests on adsorption capacity at different temperatures and pressures, eco-compatibility, and impact on the ecosystem. Moreover, theoretical modeling is also feasible and helpful in deciphering the interaction mechanism and energy features.
