Stefan Heinrich and our four PhD students really enjoyed the CFB-14 Conference in Taiyuan.
After the successful conference, the PhD students Lennard Lindmüller, Marian Schmitt, Zhi Cheng Hua and Abdullah Sadeq visited our research partners and friends Dr. Shen Wang and Prof. Laihong Shen from the Key Laboratory of Energy Thermal Conversion and Control of Ministry of Education of Southeast University in Nanjing, China.
In a scientific exchange, the focus was on current challenges in the field of chemical looping combustion and how this process can contribute to sustainable energy production on a large scale with a capacity of 3-4 megawatts for a more climate-friendly environment. The discussion broadened to the extent to which the optimization of formulations and processes, for example spray coating, can contribute to improving the properties of oxygen carriers in order to significantly enhance the efficiency of the chemical looping process.
After an additional tour through the laboratories and a subsequent lunch with regional delicacies, the research partners guided our doctoral students through the impressive city of Nanjing.
Many thanks to Prof. Laihong Shen and Dr. Shen Wang for having us. Here's to further great cooperation in the future!
