Novel membrane materials for CO₂ capture from flue gas and syngas; antifouling membranes for water purification; understanding of polymer structure/property correlations in thin films
Karla Rosalia Sanchez Lievanos and Emmanuel M. Nsengiyumva will conduct research and outreach on ‘forever chemicals’ and carbon capture technology, respectively.
Eleven faculty members from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences were among those recognized at the University at Buffalo’s Celebration of Faculty and Staff Academic Excellence.
Chemical engineer Haiqing Lin was recognized for his design, discovery and development of high-performance membrane materials for carbon dioxide capture by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
An article on BioPortfolio reports UB researchers have received $1.8 million in funding to develop membranes that can separate CO2 from other gases, a technology that has the potential to be installed by factories and power plants to cut down the amount of released carbon, and quotes Haiqing Lin, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering.
