| Course description | The course covers the main separation processes needed in carbon capture applications. These include: absorption using amines and other solvents; adsorption at low and high temperatures; membranes; air separation and hydrogen purification.
The students will be given formal lectures to introduce them to the topics and have an overview of current research trends. The students will then develop process flowsheets for a carbon capture option and analyse this in detail as part of a study project. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to understand the fundamentals of separation processes for carbon capture and their integration into a power plant.
Through the group project they should learn how to use a process simulator and be able to estimate overall efficiencies with and without carbon capture. |
Assessment Information
Written report (80%) and oral presentation (20%) at the end of the semester.
