CHEM5370 - Carbon Capture and Sequestration

CHEM 5370 Carbon Capture and Sequestration (3 semester credit hours) The goal of this course is to provide students with a modern view of current and emerging research in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). Topics will include our current understanding of CO2 in and around the planet, the geological storage of CO2, and the science and technology of capturing CO2 with a focus on material chemistry aspects. Development of analytical methods and characterization tools for assessing CCS properties and materials will also be discussed. Through this series of lectures, students will learn about contemporary research related to CCS, as well as learn to develop, analyze, and compare various CCS solutions. (3-0) R
