<\/td> Supercritical CO2 research evaluates alternate method of using captured CO2 emissions<\/a> <\/h3> Climate scientists have proven that direct-air capture removes CO2 from the atmosphere but once captured, it needs a place to go. Currently it is common practice to bury captured CO2 deep within the earth. Alternatively, electrical breakdown in low-pressure CO2 with a catalyst can cause CO2 to split and produce CO, which can later be combined with Hydrogen to make synthetic fuels. The research in this case study from University of South Carolina goes beyond that to explore reactions that occur in supercritical CO2 when there is an electrical discharge and no catalyst present.<\/p>

Dr. Wolden, Professor at Colorado School of Mines, is investigating catalyst materials and methods for distributed ammonia production. For the ammonia catalyst apparatus, three variables are critical: gas flow rates, reactor temperature, and reactor pressure. Dr. Wolden worked with Equilibar to automate and improve reactor control pressure in his experiments.<\/p> Read more here.<\/a> <\/td> <\/tr> Pore pressure transmission (PPT) testing is used in petrochemical research to determine the effectiveness of oil drilling fluids.
