As occurs annually, the undergraduate students of Chemical Engineering course at POLI-USP conducted an educational visit to the Laboratory of Research and Innovation in Catalytic Processes in the month of June. The visit is part of the integration program for the course “Introduction to Chemical Engineering,” offered in the first semester, during which students are […]

In the last month, the laboratory acquired an infrared spectroscopy equipment using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), model IRTracer-100 from Shimadzu. The spectrometer has been installed, and laboratory members have received technical training to operate it. Infrared spectroscopy measures the absorption of radiation in the infrared (IR) range by the chemical bonds of the material. The most […]

The week of March 20, the lab received a visit from Dr. Abhaya Datye, Regents Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of New Mexico (UNM) and Director of International Programs at CISTAR (Centre for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources), and Dr. Denise M. Driscoll, adjunct assistant professor […]
