We are pleased to announce that Nausika Querejeta Montes is visiting RCCS for three months under the supervision of Prof.Mercedes. Here is a short introduction to Nausika:
Nausika is a PhD student of the Energy Processes and Emissions Reduction Research Group at INCAR-CSIC since April 2014. Her research focuses on the development of biomass based carbon materials to be applied to CO2 separation under wet flue gas conditions. She was awarded fellowship from the Gobierno del Principado de Asturias (Programa Severo Ochoa).
Her performed tasks includes:
•Development of specific adsorbents with high capacity and selectivity for CO2 capture under postcombustion conditions and the design of adsorption processes that maximize such capture. For this purpose the use of biomass resources as precursos for the development of such adsorbents and an experimental methodology based on a sustainable procedure that minimizes the generation of wastes is considered.
• Performing of carbonaceous adsorbents that present a high selectivity and specificity for the separation CO2/H20/N2.
• Determination of the efficiency of the adsorbents in gaseous streams representative of the real from a flue gas.
• Design of an adsorption-desorption ciclic process that maximizes the C02 capture under moisture post combustión conditions. Research interests: biomass based carbons; water vapor adsorption; CO2 capture activated carbon, post-combustion CO2 capture, narrow micropores
