The goal of this proposed project is to develop technologies that can utilize enzymes and deep eutectic solvents (DES) to enhance the kraft pulping process to reduce chemical consumption and thermal energy while increasing pulp…
This awarded Faculty Research and Creative Activities Award (FRACAA) project proposes a systemic approach to developing nature-based deep eutectic solvents (NADES) to establish proof of concept on the design of environmentally friendly novel biomass delignification…
This project is on seeking ways to create more cost-effective, fast-charging and high-energy lithium-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles and other consumer products such as drones and portable devices.
Solvents develop a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical industry considering that they may account up to 90% of drug delivery operations. The development of new solvents for pharmaceutical applications, especially for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API),…
In the last few years I have been leading curiosity driven projects on the field of deep eutectic solvents (DES) and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), which are produced by mixing ionic liquids and either…
There have been numerous projects that I led as LPI in the past few years. In these projects we designed, synthesized, characterized and tested gas adsorption performances of dozens of novel covalent organic polymers at…
Acid Gas Removal by Ionic Liquids: an Experimental and Computational Approach: In this project we investigate series of different ionic liquids from different families on their application to toxic gas absorption (e.g. SOx, NOx, CO2…
Investigation on Gas Hydrates Thermodynamics and Kinetics: Experimental and Simulation Approach. There are three different hydrates projects we have been dealing with. In these project we design, synthesize and characterize novel thermodynamic and kinetic inhibitors…
Design of Novel Catalysts and Processes for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Conversion from Micro- to Macroscale. This is a special proposal award by QNRF as an exceptional NPRPX project. I manage the efforts that are related…
