Item Restricted Dissertation Project - Design and deployment of an atmospheric pollutant and Carbon Dioxide capture system(Lancaster University, 2024-08-30) Kutbi, Yahia; Pinkerton, AndrewThis contribution report documents the individual efforts in the Design and Deployment of an atmospheric pollutant and Carbon Dioxide Capture System Project, which focuses on developing a carbon capture system that supports the Electromagnetic Plasma Separator (EMPS). The contributions primarily involved the technical selection of components for the air intake system. Specifically, key components such as the air intake fan, pre-filters, atmospheric sensor, and flow rate sensors, were selected, ensuring that the components met the system requirements. Additionally, analysing pollutant levels and CO2 emissions in Saudi Arabia to justify the region as a strategic location for deployment, based on this analysis, deployment strategies were developed. Furthermore, comprehensive market research was conducted to identify potential investors and buyers in Saudi Arabia as well as esmang the global market size and demand of such technologies. On the project management side, the contributions included the development of the Product Breakdown Structure (PBS), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), the Risk Management Plan, WBS Dictionary, and the ‘Control’ Secon of the group management report that includes key events, actual Gan-chart, updated milestones chart, actual PBS/WBS, and lessons learned. These elements were crucial in organizing the project's tasks, managing potential risks, and ensuring systemac progress. This report provides an in-depth look at the methodologies, findings, and their impact on achieving the project’s objectives, highlighting the significance of the individual contributions in both technical and management group reports.16 0Item Restricted Modeling the Adsorption Behavior of Carbon Dioxide on Zeolites(Queen Mary University of London, 2024-08) Alturaiki, Ahmed; Shah, RazaThe increasing level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by fossil fuels consumption has incredibly contributed to climate change. Considering this issue requires a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and developments in carbon capture technologies. Zeolites have been widely used as adsorbents in separation processes. The study of carbon dioxide adsorption behavior on zeolites has been significantly focused on due to its importance in carbon capture and storage applications due to their properties. The CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity in zeolite are high which makes it a promising material to be utilized in separating CO2 from gas mixtures. This study investigates the adsorption behavior of zeolites 13X and 4A using molecular simulations. This experiment employs Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations to model CO2 adsorption behavior under varying conditions, integrating Coulomb and Lennard- Jones potentials to demonstrate particle interactions. Key aspects such as breakthrough curves, adsorption isotherms and the influence of pore size and cation exchange are discussed. Results indicate that zeolite 13X has a better CO2 adsorption performance compared to zeolite 4A. This research aims to provide insights into optimizing zeolite materials to be more cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable CO2 capture technologies in order to contribute to mitigating global warming.10 0
