URS Group and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) are developing dry carbon dioxide (CO2) sorbent materials, through the coupling of thermodynamic, molecular simulation, as well as process simulation modeling with novel synthesis methods, that possess superior adsorption and regeneration properties at conditions applicable to water gas shift (WGS) systems. If successful, this project will demonstrate that one or more sorbent materials are able to remove greater than 90 percent of the CO2 from a simulated synthesis gas (syngas) at conditions applicable to a WGS reactor, thus meeting a key U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program objective.
