Spring 2019 – Carbon Dioxide Utilization through Polymer Synthesis Integration

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Jared Enriquez
jme9982@tamu.edu
Chemical Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Mahmoud El-Halwagi, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
3 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Students will have the opportunity to gain experience with research, process design, group discussions and presentations, and computational skills through ASPEN modeling; Possibility of publication/conference opportunities.
Team Needs:
Students majoring in chemical engineering or those interested in process design are encouraged to apply. No computational experience is necessary
Description:
As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, interest in finding methods to utilize the greenhouse gas in productive and meaningful ways has increased. One instance of potential carbon dioxide utilization comes from the processing of the increasingly popular fuel source shale gas. In this project, the investigation of integrating carbon dioxide based polymer synthesis pathways with shale gas processing will take place in order to create an environmentally and economically beneficial system. The process will be modeled and simulated using ASPEN to find viable and optimal pathways.
