Cellulose-modulated Gas-Liquid-Solid Carbon Capture via Precipitation (GLS-CCP):  Kinetics and Phase Evolution

This project focuses on developing a cellulose-assisted aqueous carbonation system for permanent and safe CO₂ utilization and storage. Conventional CO₂ absorbents, such as high-temperature molten salts, often require large energy input, while aqueous absorption systems involve complex mass transfer and multi-step chemical reactions. To achieve a energy and uptake-efficient strategy and create financial value,  in

Triboelectric particle filtration

The objective of this PhD student project is to investigate triboelectric air filtration, involving design of filter materials with high particle retention and low pressure drop. Due to a self-charging ability, the developed material is expected to function similar to an electrofilter and retain airborne, polluting particles harmful to humans, as well as bacteria and

A new XRF analysis develops high yield pulp with even sulfonate distribution at fiber level for improved renewable packaging

This project addresses the main challenges of using environmentally friendly, renewable packaging materials due to the widespread use of plastic in the packaging industry. This interdisciplinary project aims to address the uneven distribution of fiber sulfonation and softening in wood chips, which is currently poorly understood at a micro-level. After impregnation, the distribution of sulfonation

Microfiber

This project has addressed the major bottlenecks in using environmentally friendly, renewable packaging materials as plastic dominates the packaging industry. This interdisciplinary project aims to fundamentally resolve the degree of roughness, i.e. the amount of fiber sulfonation and softening prior to defibration, which is unknown at the micro level. Typically, the distribution of sulfonation in

NeoPulp – New perspective to the development of pulp fibre properties

Heterogeneity is one of the fundamental scientific and technological challenges of all bio-based materials. The research area of NeoPulp is pulping and papermaking processes. We plan to study the heterogeneity between fibres that affects both process performance and the properties of current and new fibre-based materials. This is a largely unexplored research area where the
