Abstract Scope |
One of the ways that carbon dioxide can be removed from the atmosphere is via adsorption onto biochar. While the characteristics of the char are important and greatly impact the adsorption of CO2 molecules, the conditions in which the adsorption occurs are equally critical. Factors such as char particle size and quantity, environmental temperature and pressure, as well as outside driving mechanisms such as vibration frequency, driving force, and flow rates play an impactful part on how the char adsorbs CO2 particles. These factors and their effects will be studied in multiphysics simulations performed using programs that work in tandem to solve discrete particle motion simulations and computational fluid dynamics problems in alternating steps to predict adsorption characteristics. Custom user defined code will be developed to model the adsorption behavior. Trends observed in the simulations can then be compared to experimental data. |
