DRACONS

(DecaRbonizAtion and CO2 NanoSequestration) research group aims at developing sustainable industrial cycles and innovative CO2 capture processes

DRACONS is an international research group directed by Giorgio Vilardi of the Department of Chemical Engineering Materials Environment, University of Rome La Sapienza.

Our main research topics

Decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors (Process Simulation)

Fossil fuels substitution with waste sources and combustion chamber performance analysis (CFD)

Waste thermochemical valorization-Oxycombustion and Gasification (Process Simulation and CFD)

Nanoabsorbents development and testing for CO2 recovery (Experimental and Modelling)

Waste-based sorbents development and nano-coating for CO2 recovery and CO2 mineralisation (Experimental and Modelling)
