Deadline: 11th Sep. 2012
We aim to solve the problem of leaching from physically impregnated sorbents, design an efficient, inexpensive and 'green' WLA carbon capture process, and compare CO2 recovery strategies including microwave regeneration.
You are invited to apply for the post of Postdoctoral Research Fellow to carry out experimental work for the characterisation of the equilibrium and kinetic properties of impregnated adsorbent materials using a purpose-build Zero Length Column apparatus. This should allow the development of a model for impregnated adsorbents, which takes into account also solvent leaching. The model will then be implemented in the adsorption process simulator to develop a full flow-sheet and process configuration to explore novel adsorption cycles for carbon capture applications.
The successful candidate will join an internationally leading research team in the field of adsorption and gas separation, and will work closely with groups at The University of Edinburgh and the University of Strathclyde. The opportunity to undertake travel to collaborating institutes and for conference presentations will be available.
Fixed Term: 3 years

Feasibility of a wetting layer adsorption carbon capture process based on chemical solvents
University of Edinburgh -Engineering
A three-year postdoctoral appointment is available in the carbon capture group (http://www.eng.ed.ac.uk/carboncapture/) in relation to EPSRC project (EP/J019720/1) Feasibility of a wetting layer adsorption carbon capture process based on chemical solvents, starting in October 2012.We aim to solve the problem of leaching from physically impregnated sorbents, design an efficient, inexpensive and 'green' WLA carbon capture process, and compare CO2 recovery strategies including microwave regeneration.
