The adsorption of environmental pollutants in gas and aqueous media utilizing nano-scale materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)In this body of work, the synthesis and characterization of several nanoporous materials have been described, as well as the application of these materials towards environmentally positive means. Largely, this work involves ... -
Amine modified silicates applied to direct air capture of CO2 with room temperature regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)There is an urgent need to directly remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Solid adsorbent based chemisorption is a promising solution. In this work, two types of amines, Jeffamine T403 and TEPA, were combined with two types of ... -
From ionic liquid to deep eutectic solvent : greener than greener
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Over the last decades, ionic liquids (ILs), molten salts with melting point below 100 °C, have attracted great attention due to their properties like negligible vapor pressure, high viscosity, high thermal conductivity, ... -
Solid, aqueous, and gaseous: functional materials and advancements to reduce pollution in three forms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Growing environmental concerns require new and novel materials to combat the glut of anthropogenic pollution produced. Solid waste polymer pollution chokes the planet and, concerningly, has been found to generate a new ...
