Soo-Jin Park  Ph.D., Professor，Inha  University, South Korea

Soo-Jin Park, a professor of  chemistry department at Inha University, South Korea,  received his BS degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering of Ajou  University (South Korea) in 1986. In 1998, he received his MS degree in Institut  de Chimie des Surfaces et Interfaces from Centre national de la recherche  scientifique (CNRS) in France. Then he received his PhD degree from same  University in 1992. Later he became a professor at Inha University  (2005-present). He served vice president of the Korea Chemical Society (KCS) in  2010. Prof. Soo-Jin Park is now an Inha Fellow Professor, member of the Korea  Academy of Science and Technology (KAST), vice president of the SAMPE-KOREA, and  director & editor of the Polymer Society of Korea.

His primary research interests include  surfaces and interfaces of carbon, ceramic, polymer, and composite materials.  Also, He has been working in adsorption and catalytic properties of  nanoporous materials for energy, electronics, and environments. His main  achievements include being chief editor of books “Carbon fibers” (Springer) and  “Interface Science and Composites” (Elsevier Academic Press), 712 published SCI  journal papers with more than 15170 citations, and H-index is 58. Prof. Park  also received the 14th Acdemic Award of Korean Society of Industrial &  Engineering Chemistry (2016), the Advanced Academic Award of the Korea Chemical  Society (2016), and the 22th Best Paper Award of the Korean Federation of  Science and Technology Societies (2012).

报告大纲：Environmental  issues due to emissions of pollutants from combustion of fossil fuels have  become global problems, including air toxics and greenhouse gases (GHGs). To  keep GHGs at manageable levels, large decreases in CO₂ emissions  through capturing and separation will be required. To date, most of commercial  CO₂ capture plants use amine-based processes and wetscrubbing  systems, but they are energy intensive due to the large amount of water needed  in these systems. Carbon-based materials using activated carbons, activated  carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, graphite nanofibers, and so on, are being  proposed as suitable candidates forCO₂ adsorption: they do not  require any moisture removal, present a high CO₂ adsorption capacity  at ambient pressure and, more over, they are easy to regenerate. Due to acidic  role of CO₂, it is expected that the introduction of Lewis bases onto  the ACM surfaces may favour the CO₂ adsorption performance of these  materials. Thus, the focus of this work is the use of carbon-based materials as  efficient CO₂ adsorbents through surface treating them with chemical  agents that have a high affinity for CO_2.
