You are cordially invited to attend the Lecture of Sustainability and Energy Technologies. We are pleased to have Professor Hsi-Wu Wong, Associate Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell as our speaker. The topic of the lecture is "Harnessing the Interplay between Mass Transfer and Chemical Kinetics for Waste Upcycling". Further details are as follows: 1.Topic: "Harnessing the Interplay between Mass Transfer and Chemical Kinetics for Waste Upcycling" 2.Speaker: Prof. Hsi-Wu Wong Bio: Hsi-Wu Wong is a Professor and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering at UMass Lowell. He is also the Associate Director of Center for Energy Innovation on campus. His research group focuses on using chemical reaction engineering principles to manipulate reaction and mass transfer pathways for converting under-utilized waste into high-value products. Dr. Wong received his PhD from Northwestern University and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT. He has authored or co-authored more than 60 peer-reviewed papers and is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award, North American Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering Early Career Faculty Travel Award, and B. J. Martin Dissertation Year Fellowship at Northwestern University. 3. Abstract: This talk will discuss the critical role of mass transfer–chemical kinetics coupling in waste conversion and upcycling technologies. Four representative examples will be presented: the influence of volatile product evaporation rates on product distributions during high-density polyethylene pyrolysis; phase mixing and molecular interactions in the co-pyrolysis of cellulose with plastics or lignin model compounds; in situ product removal using a membrane reactor to enhance polyethylene terephthalate enzymatic hydrolysis; and an integrated process for upcycling multilayer plastic films through acidolytic delamination, PET glycolysis, and PE recycling or plasma conversion into hydrogen and solid carbon. These examples highlight the importance of fundamental chemical reaction engineering principles in developing sustainable waste upcycling technologies. 4.Moderator: Prof. Kun-Mu Lee, Director, Center for Sustainability and Energy Technologies (CSET) 5.
