The acid stream will be used to release CO2 from seawater while the base stream will be used to precipitate Mg(OH)2 from sea water. Overall this will decarbonate and sterilise seawater that can then be returned to the ocean 29-Jan-2021 - 31-Jan-2022 Doctoral Training Partnership 2020-2021 University of Strathclyde | Sait-Stewart, Robert Li, Jun (Principal Investigator) Lue, Leo (Co-investigator) Sait-Stewart, Robert (Research Co-investigator) 01-Jan-2021 - 01-Jan-2025
Research Interests
Dr Li's research interests include the fundamental investigation and understanding of problems associated with the complex interactions of thermo-fluids dynamics, thermochemical processes, heat & mass transports in thermal/chemical processes, predominantly focusing on:
- Clean bioenergy technologies, including clean combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, wet waste-to-energy.
- Production and utilisation of renewable hydrogen/hydrogen-rich syngas for decarbonising industry systems.
