Masters Theses
"The following describes a novel passive approach to control the indoor CO2 levels in enclosed spaces, primarily focusing on commercial buildings. Amine impregnated silica sorbents were identified as suitable candidates and synthesized; the amine loading ratio was varied to create a range of materials. These samples along with other commercial zeolite candidates have been tested over a range of CO2 concentrations to determine the CO2 adsorption capacity in laboratory systems and under simulated room conditions. The research work also focuses on the CO2 desorption capacity of the candidate adsorbents. The desorption is allowed to occur gradually …
