Advanced Materials For Air Pollutants Removal In A Combustion System, Sungyoon Jung
Advanced Materials For Air Pollutants Removal In A Combustion System, Sungyoon Jung
McKelvey School of Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Air pollutants directly or indirectly impact human health and the environment. Large quantities of CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter are emitted from combustion systems, and cause climate change, smog formation, and pose serious health risks. The increasing demand for the remediation of air pollutants at the source has drawn much attention to the use of advanced materials due to their high reactivities and special properties. In order to achieve the successful application of advanced materials for the remediation of problematic emissions, three aspects, (1) synthesis method, (2) characterization of materials’ structural properties, and (3) evaluation of materials’ …
Designing Metal-Organic Frameworks For Natural Gas Storage And Delivery, Labeeb Ali
Designing Metal-Organic Frameworks For Natural Gas Storage And Delivery, Labeeb Ali
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Theses
Natural gas is major resource in UAE, constitute about 90% methane and as compared to other fossil fuels, it is more environmentally friendly. Energy demand from natural gas can be projected to exceed two hundred exajoules per year in 2040. In the UAE, many natural gas filling stations are already built for utilizing natural gas as a vehicle transportation fuel where these materials have potential applications to store and deliver this fuel. This research aims to study various kinds of Metal-Organic Frameworks, and to investigate adsorption properties for the storage of natural gas and its delivery. MOFs possess porous material …
