PostDoc position: New adsorbers and processes for CO2 capture Share Apply now Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.The group Reactors and Processes for Power-to-X and the Advanced Colloidal Materials Engineering group search for a Postdoctoral researcher in the field of materials and process development for direct air capture of CO2. The work will be in collaboration with the laboratory of Advanced Materials Processing, responsible for manufacturing of novel micro-structured and mass-producible contactor materials.
The position is within the project ESCoDAC - Efficient Structured Contactors for Direct Air Capture. ESCoDAC intends to develop concepts for a novel mass-producible structured sorption contactor for Direct Air Capture (DAC) with an operation and regeneration process tailored to the sorbent. We aim at increasing the efficiency and yield of the DAC process by engineering the materials and processes in a multiscale approach (local flow and diffusion conditions during ad- and desorption, advanced desorption strategies and process scheduling).
Your tasksThe project aims at joint development of materials, structures, and processes to ensure optimal operation conditions, considering material lifetime and product output.
Responsibilities:
- Develop a multi-scale design approach for structured DAC materials including sorption models for multi-component adsorption, engineering of flow, heat and mass transfer in micro-structured contactors (modeling in COMSOL or OpenFOAM), and simulation-based process integration of the new contactor (e.g., AspenPlus, Matlab, Python)
- Design experiments for testing of structured sorbents under realistic conditions considering co-adsorption of water
- Investigate production trials and develop optimization strategies in collaboration with the experts from materials development and manufacturing
- PhD in chemical engineering, materials sciences, mechanical engineering, or similar field
- Experience in modelling of adsorption, heat and mass transfer processes
- Hands-on experience in laboratory testing
- Highly motivated team player, curious to learn new things
- Excellent English communication and writing skills
