Equilibrium behaviour of a novel gas separation process, with application to carbon capture
This single-authored paper was the first description of a novel Wetting Layer Absorption (WLA) process concept for energy efficient gas separation. It was the key output from grant EP/F061285/1 (£273k, Sweatman PI), and led to a follow-on paper (DoI:10.1007/s10450-011-9351-5). It was the cornerstone for subsequent Edinburgh-Strathclyde grants (EP/J019704/1; EP/J019720/1, total value: £1.23M, overall PI Sweatman), which also led to additional collaboration with Imperial College concerning ionic liquids as solvents. Currently, seven academics (martin.sweatman@ed.ac.uk, s.brandani@ed.ac.uk, x.fan@ed.ac.uk, ashleigh.fletcher@strath.ac.uk, siddharth.patwardhan@strath.ac.uk, leo.lue@strath.ac.uk, j.hallett@imperial.ac.uk) and six of their PDRAs/PhDs contribute to the WLA research programme that has arisen directly from this paper.
