Join us for this Science for Lunch event hosted by Surface Measurement Systems, where we’ll explore how solid sorbent-based carbon capture can help meet growing energy demands while reducing carbon emissions.

This talk covers key performance indicators for carbon capture materials like uptake, capacity, and selectivity, with emphasis on techniques that measure these under realistic conditions with an eye to advancing research and development of solutions.

THREE TAKEWAYS
– Understanding fundamental properties of complex adsorbents.
– Measuring multicomponent adsorption, i.e. competitive sorption between water and carbon dioxide.
– Assessing material degradation over a material’s lifetime.

SPEAKER
Connor Hewson, Senior Product Specialist, Surface Measurement Systems.
