How a bubble is released into the liquid \u2014 the injector geometry and the detachment mechanism \u2014 leaves a measurable trace on its subsequent rise. The work compares release mechanisms in aqueous ionic-liquid solutions and quantifies their effect on rise velocity and on the deformation of the bubble, within the bubble-scale work package and in collaboration with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its output is the shortlist of solvents that feeds the design of the AURIGA absorber and the two experimental campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract (PDF, 100 kB)<\/a> \u00b7 Slides (PDF, 2.0 MB)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Oral presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHISA 2026, Prague \u2014 CO\u2082 capture session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A computational study of gas\u2013liquid flow and CO\u2082 mass transfer in bubble columns operated with ionic liquids, examining how the strongly different viscosity and surface tension of these solvents reshape the flow field and the interfacial transfer with respect to air\u2013water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract (PDF, 182 kB)<\/a> \u00b7 Slides (PDF, 1.8 MB)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Oral presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHISA 2026, Prague \u2014 fluid and granular flows session. Work carried out with the Hamburg University of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two independent routes to the gas holdup in a rectangular bubble column \u2014 bed expansion and magnetic resonance imaging \u2014 are used together to locate the flow regime transitions. The MRI measurement resolves the holdup spatially, so the transition points obtained from the global bed expansion can be cross-checked against the internal structure of the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract (PDF, 201 kB)<\/a> \u00b7 Slides (PDF, 1.8 MB)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nA methodology for the selection of ionic liquids for CO\u2082 absorption based on thermodynamic and kinetic properties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
