Overview

This presentation offers a dive into adsorption and cryogenic condensation technologies for fluid separations, crucial in certain sectors of the current chemical engineering field. Attendees will gain insights into the fundamental theories of adsorption processes, explore the key characteristics of primary adsorbent materials, and understand their applications across a variety of applications, including environmental gas stream treatment. The talk further explores cryogenic condensation, showcasing its utility with liquid nitrogen and other cryogenic heat transfer fluids in environmental techniques and beyond.

Speaker

Matteo Compagnoni

Matteo has been deeply involved in separation processes since my his bachelor's thesis in 2012. His academic journey led to a Master's degree in Industrial Chemistry and Management, followed by a PhD at the University of Milan. His doctoral thesis was an in-depth exploration of gas separation and treatment, specifically through adsorption and catalytic processes. This expertise was further improved through research experience at the Cardiff Catalysis Institute in the UK and the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Calgary in Canada.

Following his PhD, his career transitioned from academia to the industry. He has worked with companies in air pollution control, utilising his expertise to address environmental issues. Currently, as a Business Development Manager for Polaris, he specialises in the application of these technologies across a broad spectrum of industries, from pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals to environmental sectors.
