个人简介
Dr. Kalpit Shah’s current research projects and career interests include the fundamental and applied research in the area of advanced thermochemical conversion systems. Few examples are low emission clean coal technologies such as oxy-fuel and chemical looping, coal and biomass pyrolysis, gasification and combustion followed by their utilization and improvement in the efficiency of steelmaking processes. He is currently leading the chemical looping related projects at the University of Newcastle in collaboration with Prof. Behdad Mogthaderi.
His self-patented technologies such as Chemical Looping Air Separation (CLAS) for oxygen production, Chemical Looping Oxy Combustor (CLOC) for coal combustion and Stone Dust Looping (SDL) process for Ventilation Air Methane (VAM) mitigation have gained significant interest from industry and global research community. Moreover, his other key research projects/interests in the area of chemical looping are developing new processes such as Chemical Looping Carbon Reforming (CLCR) for CO2 utilization and methanol production, Chemical/Calcium Looping Gasification (CLG) for hydrogen production, Soil Looping Carbon Arrestor Process (SLCAP) for emission reduction from poultry farms and piggery and Slag Carbon Arrestor Process (SCAP) for improving the efficiency of steelmaking process. He is also devising a novel pre-treatment process for improving the efficiency of Direct Coal Liquefaction (DCL) process.
Before joining the UoN, he worked as a Research Associate and a PhD student in the Chemical Engineering Department of Curtin University between 2007 and 2011. His research at Curtin University was mainly in the area of coal and biomass combustion. During his PhD, he also worked as a Guest Researcher at the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) from 2008-10. He was mainly looking at deriving the fundamental ash formation mechanisms during combustion/co-firing of coal and biomass.
Beyond his research accomplishments (total 60 scientific outputs including 3 patents and ~35 industrial reports), he has around seven years of industrial and consultancy experience in the applied energy research area in India and overseas from 2001-07. Given the strong research and industrial background in the energy area, he has been engaged with International Energy Centre (IEC) of Australia for delivering Masters of Energy Studies (MES) Program on Advanced Power Generation Technologies since 2012. He led the Australian delegation for briefing the Energy Minister of the Gujarat State of India during the 1st Thermo and 1st Chemtech meetings in 2011 in India. He has briefed the Honourable Australian High Commissioner of South Africa about the low emission technology development at the University of Newcastle during NIER-SANEDI Symposium in Johannesburg in South Africa in 2013.
