Carbon Dioxide Utilisation: Faraday Discussion

Introduction

The 九州影院 are pleased to announce that this event will be moving online.

Welcome

Join us online in April 2021 for this addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry. Many of these Discussions have become landmark meetings in their field.

We invite you to join us to discuss the topic of carbon dioxide utilisation and make your contribution to this cutting-edge dialogue alongside leaders in this field.

This meeting is for established scientists, post-graduate students and industrial researchers interested in carbon dioxide utilisation. Given the rapid expansion of global research into carbon dioxide utilisation, the unique format of the Faraday Discussions will allow for in-depth discussions and opportunities to establish new collaborations.

Attendance

The 九州影院 is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you would like to discuss accessibility, please contact us to discuss your requirements so that we can enable your attendance.

Format

Faraday Discussions remain amongst the only conferences to distribute the speakers鈥� research papers in advance, allowing the majority of each meeting to be devoted to discussion in which all delegates can participate. Following each meeting a written record of the discussion is published alongside the papers in the Faraday Discussions journal.

Themes

Since the Faraday Discussion on carbon dioxide utilisation was held in 2015, there has been a rapid rise in research output together with commercialisation.

Our 2021 Discussion will focus on the following four themes:

Thermal catalytic conversion
In this session we will discuss using cascade processes to maximise efficiency and conversion, the development of systems that are reactive under low CO₂ concentrations, whether we can produce robust and active catalysts for use in impure gas streams using Earth abundant and low-cost metals, and whether amine capture can be used to produce a product with real value.

Accelerated mineralisation
This session will discuss the use of gaseous and solid waste streams without pre-purification, chemical strategies to extract valuable and/or toxic metals from industrial waste before it is carbonated to give stable inorganics, the chemical and physical processes for waste carbonation versus virgin minerals, and methods and kinetics for coal carbonation.

Life cycle and upscaling
In this session, we will discuss scaling systems to real application quantities, reactor design and separation processes. We will also consider the development of robust life cycle analyses on reactions and processes and setting boundaries for these.

Emerging technologies
This session will include, but is not limited to, the plasmolytic, photo- & electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide, and battery technologies. We will discuss the means of increasing efficiency while maintaining conversion.

Abstract Submission

Poster Abstracts

Submit your poster abstract by 08 March 2021. Posters are displayed throughout the meeting and a poster session is held on the first evening. The Faraday Division Poster Prize will be awarded to the best poster presented by a student at the conference.

As this event is being held as online, we will be using a dedicated online poster platform. If your poster is accepted for this event, you will receive an email from us inviting you log on to the poster platform where you will be able to create an interactive poster. When creating a poster you will be able to choose from a variety of templates, and select colours, backgrounds and fonts, to create a poster specific to your work. The poster can contain text, images, videos and audio recordings, and can include as much detail as you require as content boxes within the templates are not limited to size. You will also have access to video tutorials, showing you how you can create your poster in the platform, and access to email support with the poster platform if you have an specific questions. 鈥�

Oral Abstracts and Research Papers

A full research paper containing new unpublished results always accompanies oral presentations at Faraday Discussions. Submit an oral/paper abstract by 3 August 2020 if you wish to be considered for an oral presentation and associated published paper. The oral/paper abstract should outline current research in progress. Authors of the selected abstracts must then submit a full research paper with a significant amount of new, unpublished work by 14 December 2020.

The research papers are reviewed upon submission and are sent to all delegates 4 weeks before the meeting so they can be read in advance. At the meeting the presenting author is allowed five minutes to highlight the main points of their paper, and the rest of the time is for discussion. The discussion is recorded and will be published alongside the research paper in the Faraday Discussion Volume.

Additional Information

Authors will be notified of the outcome of the review process within about 6 weeks of the submission deadline. The abstracts should be no longer than one A4 page in portrait layout. Please ensure you provide the details of the presenting author and indicate whether you are submitting an abstract for oral or poster presentation.
