Title : Using amine grafted silicas or aminosilicas to economically remove hazardous pollutants from different environmental conditions such as lunar habitats, spacecrafts etc.
Idea: Currently, NASA enforces a Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentration (SMAC) of 0.5% CO2 over a 1000-day period, using a multi-bed system known as the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA). The process involves cyclic adsorption-desorption using zeolite 5A molecular sieves. Owing to the presence of humidity in the cabin air and the hydrophilic nature of zeolite 5A, the removal of CO2 and water vapor must be conducted separately via two adsorption beds that are arranged in series, resulting in additional capital and operating costs. The objective of this study is to address this shortcoming via developing alternative adsorbent materials capable of integrating and intensifying the process. Aminosilicas can be potential candidates for this application due to faster adsorption kinetics and less energy-intensive regeneration in an inert atmosphere

Title : Production Of 99.5% Pure Ethanol by Using 25000 Metric Tons per Year of Wheat Straw
Abstract : Bioethanol is one of the most promising and eco-friendly alternatives to fuels, which is produced from renewable sources. Pakistan has been into energy crisis since its existence. This thesis explicates the generation of liquid fuel using renewable energy resource i.e. wheat straw. Wheat straw after pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis is converted into mixture of sugars such as glucose, xylose etc. Enzyme utilized for co-fermenting sugary molecule is baker’s enzyme i.e. Sacchromyces Cerevesia. In the purification step, pressure swing distillation was utilized to produce 99.5% pure ethanol followed by dehydration in molecular sieve.
