Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) will be offering two courses – “Carbon capturing and sequestration” and “Nuclear magnetic resonance for analysis of chemical and material properties and its biomedical applications” — from next month.

The courses will be conducted by the Department of Chemistry under the Global Initiative of Academic Network (GIAN) Programme of the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India.

The first course — “Carbon capturing and sequestration” — will be of five days duration, from December 12 to16, while the second course — “Using magnetic resonance for analysis of chemical and material properties and its biomedical applications” will conducted from December 12 to 21.

The course coordinators, Prof Palwinder Singh, and Dr MS Bhatti, said classes on “Carbon capturing and Sequestration” would focus on current environmental problems of biomass burning and increasing load of carbon dioxide in the air.

They said the resource person, Prof Jeffery A Reimer from University of California, Berkeley (USA), would deliver 15 lectures focusing on issues like post-and pre-combustion capture of CO2, the thermodynamics of gas separations, use of parasitic energy as a metric for successful carbon capture, CO2 trapping mechanisms, selection of sites for geological storage, sequestration projects, health and safety, failure mechanisms, and geo-engineering for carbon capture. Besides, carbon capture by absorption, including solvent design, use of metal organic frameworks, costs and optimization will also be discussed.

In the second course, Prof Bernhard Bluemich from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, an expert in compact nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, would deliver 30 lectures on the wonderful technique of using nuclear magnetic resonance for analysis of chemical and material properties and its biomedical applications, they said.

GNDU Vice-Chancellor, AS Brar, said experts from UC Berkeley and Germany were invited to provide scientific way-out for tackling problems on various environmental issues. He said GNDU would extend collaboration with these universities.
