Seminar, “Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed Applications in Polymerization and Clean Energy Processes” by Dr. Poupak Mehrani
Dr. Poupak Mehrani
Chemical and Biological Engineering Department
University of Ottawa
Fluidized beds including those of gas-phase are widely used in industry due to their excellent features including providing high degree of mixing, heat transfer, mass transfer, to just name a few. In this talk a brief summary of research presently carried out by my research team in the areas of polymerization and clean energy, where fluidized bed reactors are employed, will be presented.

Seminar: “Bioenergy and Availability” by Dr. Duu-Jong Lee (NTUST, Taiwan)
Abstract: The world is faced with energy challenges with depleting fossil fuel reserves. Although with successful exploitation of shale gas and shale oil, the long-term economic benefits on shale fuels use considering the environmental damage are unknown. Biomass is abundant worldwide and its derived energy is regarded renewable and cost-effective. Additionally, the use of bioenergy from biomass is claimed to be carbon neutral since the biomass has supreme capability to biofixation of CO2. However, the cost of biodiesel production from biomass is high.
