At the same time the Canadian Society of Senior Engineers (CSSE) i s using their national organization to provide information\, the subject a nd speaker to members across Canada.\n\nThe March meeting will be held on Thursday March 21\, 2024. The Meeting will open at 12:30 pm MDT (2:30pm Ea stern)\, with the presentation starting at 12:45 (2:45pm EDT). If you plan to attend and be included on the Zoom invite for this meeting please\, re spond to Tom Madsen\, tcmadsen@telus.netbefore noon on Wednesday March 20. The meeting will be held via the Zoom platform with the actual invitation s sent the afternoon of Wednesday March 20.\n\nPlease note the meeting ori ginates in Alberta which is in the Mountain Time Zone\, so if you are in a nother province you must account for any necessary time shift.\n\nPresenta tion: CO2 capture from point sources and air using solid sorbents\n\nAdsor ption is a mature process using microporous solids (Adsorbents) to purify gases. It is commercially used in H2 purification\, air separation\, CH4 u pgrading\, etc. In the last 20 years\, thanks to the development of the fi eld of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, chemists have made exceptional ad vances in tailoring adsorbents for a specific separation. However\, despit e generating hundreds of thousands of (hypothetical & real) MOFs\, there h as been limited practical success in this area. The talk will be presented in two parts.\n\nPart 1: How can Engineering enable the discovery and scr eening of adsorbents for CO2 capture? The excitement in chemistry has led to an implicit assumption that the key bottleneck in developing large-scal e adsorption processes lies in discovering the right adsorbent. Our group was one of the first to demonstrate that any meaningful screening should c onsider the complexity of the process and the need to combine engineering aspects in the selection processes. We needed to develop machine-learning and experimental tools to support the discovery process. I will highlight how these developments have allowed us to rethink adsorbent screening and discovery [1\,2]\n\nPart 2. A Made-In-Canada breakthrough in CO2 capture: The second part of the talk will deal with what has been considered a brea kthrough in CO2 capture: the first commercial-scale deployment of a MOF fo r industrial flue gas capture. This work published in the journal Science [3] describes Calgary Framework 20 (CALF-20)\, a MOF developed at the Univ ersity of Calgary\, characterized for wet-flue-gas CO2 capture at the Univ ersity of Alberta\, understood at the molecular level by colleagues at the University of Ottawa and now commercialized by Svante\, a company located in Burnaby\, BC. This is considered a major development not just in CO2 c apture but also in the industrialization of MOFs. The pan-Canadian collabo rative work demonstrates how technologies developed in academic labs can i mpact climate technologies.\n\n- Rajendran\, A.\, et al.
