Publication – Development of a Validated Rate-Based Model

by Manelle Sokar | Oct 16, 2025 | Journal Publication

Abstract In this work, we developed a new e-NRTL thermodynamic framework for CO2 absorption in aqueous mixtures of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PZ) in Aspen Plus. The e-NRTL AMP/PZ/H2O/CO2 model was fitted on experimental data covering a range of...

Publication – Pilot-scale CO2 capture in a cement plant with CESAR1

by Manelle Sokar | Oct 16, 2025 | Journal Publication

Abstract Carbon capture from hard-to-abate industries is essential. This study investigates the effect of stripper pressure on the performance of amine-based CO2 capture from cement flue gas, using the CESAR1 solvent. Through a rigorous data filtering and binning...
