Sorption Enhanced Reaction Processes by Alírio Rodrigues and Rui Faria

October, 2017

Professor Alírio Rodrigues and Doctor Rui Faria are authors of the book Sorption Enhanced Reaction Processes together with Professor Luís Miguel Madeira (LEPABE, FEUP) and Yi-Jiang Wu (ECUST, China).

Sorption Enhanced Reaction Processes (SERP) provides undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry and chemical engineering, researchers and industrial engineers with a clear path towards process development of SERP, whatever the area of application.

Main Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Gas-phase Adsorptive Reactor for Hydrogen Production Processes
  • Membrane Reactors for Water-Gas Shift
  • Liquid Phase Simulated Moving Bed Reactor
  • Conclusions and Perspectives

LSRE-LCM at the Reception of New Students - FEUP

September 20, 2017

The Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM opened the doors of some research laboratories to the new students have just arrived at FEUP, especially those of Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Bioengineering.
This activity was part of the FEUP event "Reception of New Students - FEUP Orienta-te!".

On September 20, 2017 LSRE-LCM together with LEPABE and CEFT organized different visits to the laboratories under the subject “Relevant research - the key for an education with quality” where our researchers participate in dissemination of scientific and technological advances for 120 students.
