Enhancing CO2 Treatment through High-Energy Electron Beam Technology

The global challenge of climate change necessitates innovative approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High-energy electron beam technology (6-10 MeV) has shown promise in various applications, including air purification. This project aims to explore synergies between electron beam (EB) treatment and e.g. materials science to enhance carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion. 

The proposed project aims to explore synergistic approaches leveraging EB treatment technology for enhanced CO2 capture and conversion. 

Proposed solutions may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Integration of EB and CO2 Treatment: Combining EB treatment with CO2 capture to enhance efficiency.

• Enhanced CO2 Adsorption: Investigating EB impact on CO2 capture materials for improved adsorption.

• Catalytic CO2 Reduction: Exploring how electron beams can enhance catalytic CO2 conversion reactions.

• Radiation-Induced Polymerization: Using electron beams to polymerize CO2-derived monomers to produce valuable materials.

• Advanced Reactor Design: Developing innovative designs to optimize EB parameters for CO2 treatment.

• Advanced Modeling: Developing sophisticated models to understand EB-induced CO2 conversion mechanisms and optimize reaction conditions. Utilizing computational models to predict EB effects and performance on CO2 treatment processes.
