Human activity is
changing the composition of the atmosphere. The generation of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) is a major environmental concern. The public
and the governments at different levels are seeking solutions to this problem.
There is an increasing consensus to promote the use of renewable and
sustainable energy sources.
Different graduate and undergraduate students have been working in this area under Dr. Tezel's supervision. These projects include adsorbent screening, and adsorbent tailoring for different separations. Pure and mixture isotherms are determined experimentally. Different adsorption models have been used for the prediction of mixture isotherms and compared to the experimental ones. Modeling of the adsorption process has been carried out for different scenarios. Adsorbents used include ZSM-5, silicalite, Zeolite 4A, Zeolite 5A, Zeolite 13X, erionite, chabazite, clinoptilolite, mordenite, different activated carbons, carbon molecular sieve, activated carbons, AlPO4-11, AlPO4-17, AlPO4-18. Some of these synthetic and natural adsorbents have been modified, ion-exchanged and treated under different conditions to improve the separation before they are used as adsorbents.
The possibility of improving both the selectivity and the flux for gas separation applications with inorganic adsorbent membranes has been looked at for separation of CO2, CH4, H2, N2 and other gases by synthesizing crystalline zeolites on top and in the pores of different inorganic support materials. Preliminary results are very promising, with observed separation factors much higher than membranes alone or adsorbents alone.
