Research Type: Basic Search.
Research goal: Development of chemical processes using deep eutectic solvents and nanostructured materials in membranes for capturing CO2 or separating CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 with better efficiency, more favorable properties (lower viscosity, greater CO2 absorption capacity, lower cost and environmental impact, greater tolerance to the presence of impurities considering different sources of CO2, combining experimental and multiscale modeling and application in optimizing the CO2 capture process.
