Introduction People Industrial Projects Numerical Modeling Products Lab. Equipments
Adsorption and reactive process of gas and/or liquids in heterogeneous
systems and mathematical modeling and optimization of the related
processes are the activities of this laboratory. Some of the activities are
focused on formation of the fine layers, as core-shell catalysts, membrane
fabrication and modeling their properties.
The methods of testing adsorbents, related properties and membranes need
different equipments and facilities and this lab is working on set-up these
systems.
Synthesis and production of some nano-structured materials, nano-
particles, nano-films and nano-photocatalysts are taken place in this lab
and their properties are determined experimentally. The catalytic
properties as well as adsorptive properties of the produced materials are
investigated and modeled in heterogeneous systems.
Mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization of the adsorption
processes, heterogeneous reactors (fixed beds, trickle beds, moving beds,
bubble columns, fluidized, slurry, and membrane reactors) are performed
for refining natural gas and oil, environmental issues, CO2 fixation,
hydrogen purification, and production high-value products, in this lab.
