SUMMARY:Process intensification strategies for enhanced photocatalytic proc
 esses
DESCRIPTION:Dânia Constantino\, Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM | November 1
 9\, 2020 – 14H30 | Online\n\nProcess Intensification (PI) is a very impo
 rtant stage to reach feasible cheical processes towards large-scale implem
 entation. PI implies the development of new devices or engineering methods
  able to improve yield and selectivity attained in the conventional route.
  Usually\, PI strategies comprise safer\, cleaner\, and smaller plants pro
 moting higher energy efficiency by reducing equipment and/or steps require
 d to achieve the desired product.\n\nNovel photoreactors design promoting 
 better contact between the photocatalyst and reactants\, and different irr
 adiation systems allowing higher illumination and energy efficiency\, have
  shown great ability to enhance the photocatalytic processes covering a wi
 de range of applications. Hence\, different PI configurations have been pr
 oposed as alternatives to the conventional processes aiming to reduce both
  operating and capital costs associated with downstream units\, among othe
 rs. This seminar will focus on some of these alternatives\, coupled and hy
 brid photocatalytic processes\, which will be illustrated with practical e
 xamples from the literature\, highlighting the advantages and challenges f
 rom the industrial point of view.\n\n\n\nDânia Constantino graduated in C
 hemical Engineering at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP
 ) in 2009. Since then\, she joined the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM resea
 rch team participating in different projects involving\, mainly\, Process 
 Intensification strategies for the production of green fuel additives and 
 adsorption based reactive-separation processes. In 2016\, she started the 
 Doctoral program in Chemical and Biological Engineering at FEUP concluding
  her Ph.D. degree in 2019\, with the thesis “Process Intensification fo
 r Butyl Acrylate Synthesis based on Sorption-Enhanced Reaction and Pervapo
 ration based Hybrid Processes”. After that\, she started working as a Po
 st-Doctoral Researcher in LSRE-LCM\, where\, currently\, she is the Junior
  Researcher of the LED-NETmix Project.\n\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n[Host: Joaquim
