  10. Scope of work/Duration Estimated Budget Scope of work: Environmental and health sectors Duration: 24 months Estimated Budget : 320.000 JD

  11. Methodology of Implementation Milestone A: The Production of cyclic carbonates production (Cyclic carbonate vs. polymer formation) The production of cyclic carbonates is carried out upon the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides (scheme 1), the reaction proceeds in the absence of catalysts but requires high pressure and temperatures. Materials will be characterized by means of FT-IR, and (1H &13C) NMR spectroscopy. For quantification purposes, GC-MS will be further used. The cycloaddition reaction of CO2 and Propylene oxide

  12. Methodology of Implementation Milestone A: The Production of cyclic carbonates production (Cyclic carbonate vs. polymer formation) On the other hand, the reaction may undergo a side reaction depending on the catalyst/cocatalyst interaction as well as the sterical/electronic microstructure around the metal atom. The production of Poly(propylenecarbonate), (PPC; R = CH3). The production of Poly(propylenecarbonate), (PPC; R = CH3)

  13. Expected output Write-up of publications/posters/Oral presentations. Use of mild reaction conditions as well non-hazardous materials. Synthesis of efficient green sorbents for the capture of CO2. Use of bio-renewables as well hybrid materials (nanotechnology combined with a polymer coating) for the production of safer green sorbents. Green Synthesis of PC out of CO2. Synthesis of bio-degradable polymer (if any) PPC. Use of mild reaction conditions as well non-hazardous materials. Qaroush et al., Catal. Sci. Tech., 2013, 3, 2221-2226. (b) Qaroush et al. 2013, 3, 2150-2150, DOI: 10.1039/C3CY90028B.

  14. Impact Raising the awareness of locals towards the importance of sustainability and greenness of synthesis throughout lecturing in different provinces. Synthesis of biodegradable materials and application in CO2 capturing. Opening new horizons for local researchers towards world-wide, competitive research.

  15. Sustainability • Building blocks (starting materials) of these target products will be synthesized from CO2. • Cheap. • Commercially-available resources. • Non-toxic. • Bio-degradable fine chemicals/polymers from a cheap, abundant non-toxic resource, viz., CO2 is still a must and will be reflected positively in the local society.
