Solving the world's greatest separations challenges through innovative research and design home to engineers & scientists from Georgia Tech ChBE
🎉 Worth highlighting: In our latest Journal of Membrane Science publication, led by Inyoung Jang and Haoyu Chen (@GTChBE, Lively Lab), we reveal that CO2 can diffuse uphill across membranes when driven by the chemical potential difference of H2O.
Excited to highlight a recent Curr. Opin. Chem. Eng. review led by HannahE_Holmes, Jinsu Kim, and Matthew Realff! 🎉They outline how process systems engineering can unlock scalable adsorption-based DAC by linking sorbent selection, heat/water integration, and system viability.
Excited to highlight our latest work!🎉 In our latest J. Membr. Sci. publication led by Woo Jin Jang (Lively group, @georgiatechchbe.bsky.social), we report uphill transport of phenolics in bio-oil mixtures via "sorpvection", where methanol flux drives guaiacol enrichment across DUCKY-9 membranes.
🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Ryan Lively on being named a national finalist for the 2025 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists! 👏 An incredible recognition of his leadership in sustainable separations and carbon capture research — one that continues to inspire the next generation of ChBE researchers.

Excited to share that our recent J. Membr. Sci. paper led by Young Joo Lee (Lively group, @GTChBE) has been selected as an Editor’s Choice Article for the July 2025 issue!🎉👏 Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #MembraneScience #MachineLearning #OSRO #EditorsChoice #Sustainability
Excited to share that in our latest Energy Environ. Sci. paper led by Seo-Yul Kim (Lively group, GTChBE), we propose a new concept: near-cryogenic direct air capture (DAC) using physisorbents like Zeolite 13X and CALF-20, thermally coupled with LNG regasification.
We have good news to share! 🎉 In our latest Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. publication, led by Yuxiang Wang (Lively group, GTChBE), we identify a key degradation pathway in amine-infused cellulose acetate fiber sorbents for direct air capture.
Thrilled to share our latest ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces publication! 🎉 Led by Pavithra Narayanan (Lively & Jones groups, GTChBE), we developed 3D-printed, ice-templated poly(ethylenimine) monoliths for direct air capture.
Excited to share our latest Science publication! Led by Yi Ren (Lively Lab, GTChBE), we developed fluorine-rich poly(arylene amine) membranes with exceptional resistance to swelling in organic solvents.
