Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) at LSRE-LCM

July 9-12, 2018

Dr. Kiwoong Kim from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) visited the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM guided by Professor Alírio Rodrigues, Dr. Alexandre Ferreira and Dr. Ana Mafalda Ribeiro. This visit took place between 9th to 12th of July, for the kick-off meeting of the new project, and discussion the ongoing and future work.

The collaboration between LA LSRE- LCM and KRICT dates back to 2009. This collaboration was first settled under the framework of the FP7 European Project – MACADEMIA (2009-2013). Since then the partnership was maintained, and the groups of Prof. Jong-San Chang and Prof. Alírio Rodrigues have co-authored many scientific manuscripts together and one patent.

In 2018 this bilateral collaboration achieved a new level with the participation of LA LSRE-LCM in a project funded by both KRICT and NST for 3 years (2018-2020). The Memorandum of Agreement between both institutions was signed in February.

Lecture on Adsorption Technologies by Alírio Rodrigues

June 27, 2018

On past day 27th June 2018, Emeritus Professor Alírio Rodrigues has been invited as Educational Keynote Speaker on XPURE Symposium - Road Map for Industrial Implementation of Advanced Adsorption/ Chromatography Technologies: EBA and SMB, at Castle Oud-Poelgeest, The Netherlands.

The lecture entitled "Recent Developments in Adsorption Technologies (Batch and SMB)" was appreciated by the audience.

The Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM recognizes the merit and excellent research work of the Cyclic Adsorption/Reaction Processes group in this particular research area!
