Over the past few decades, micron- and nano-sized particles have garnered significant attention for their potential in various applications. One particularly exciting area is their role in enhancing gas absorption, both through physical and chemical processes. However, the underlying mechanisms behind this behavior remain not fully understood.
As part of my PhD research, I am investigating how these particles affect water-gas interface morphology and mass transfer. Through a series of experiments and detailed analyses, we are exploring how activated carbon particles interact at the interface to improve gas absorption. The insights gained from these experiments are being used to refine a model that aims to explain the mechanisms driving these effects. I am conducting this project under supersvison of Jana Poplsteinova Jakobsen, Brian Arthur Grimes , and Sulalit Bandyopadhyay.
