Aminofunctionalised Aerogels for CO2 Adsorption at Low Partial Pressures

149 Seiten, Dissertation Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg (2014), Softcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

In this work a CO2 removal unit for energy efficient environmental control systems of future aircraft has been developed. The CO2 removal unit is based on a novel, aerogel based CO2 adsorbent. The functionalisation method and functionalisation agent for the tailor-made adsorbent have been optimised. The breakthrough through the aerogel adsorbent has been modelled. Using the model the adsorber has been scaled up and optimised to confirm the energy efficiency of the suggested CO2 removal system.
