Graduate Student in Department of Energy Engineering, Chemical Engineering Major... Proposes Effective Method for Removing High-Risk Hydrochloric Acid Gas
Han Minseong, a graduate student majoring in Chemical Engineering, Department of Energy Engineering, Daejin University. Han Minseong, a graduate student majoring in Chemical Engineering in the Department of Energy Engineering at Daejin University (master's program), was honored with the Excellent Paper Award at the "2024 Fall Conference of the Korean Institute of Industrial Chemists," held from October 30 to November 1 at the Kim Daejung Convention Center in Gwangju.
The Korean Institute of Industrial Chemists holds two academic conferences annually to provide a platform for sharing basic and applied research achievements in the field of industrial chemistry. Each conference is attended by over 2,000 researchers from industry, academia, and research institutes, discussing the latest research and technological trends.
At this conference, Han Minseong presented a paper titled "HCl gas adsorption mechanism of activated carbon pellets manufactured from petroleum-based pitch with softening points." This study proposed a method to manufacture functional activated carbon using pitches with various softening points derived from petroleum by-products, effectively removing high-risk hydrochloric acid gas.
The research was highly evaluated for presenting the development of high-performance activated carbon effective in removing special gases.
Professor Bae Byeongcheol, Han’s academic advisor in the Chemical Engineering major, stated, "Based on these research results, we will focus more on developing materials and products that can improve the removal efficiency of special hazardous gases, and we will work together with our research team to create various achievements."
Currently, the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Energy Engineering Division at Daejin University is concentrating on developing porous carbon materials for energy storage devices such as secondary batteries and capacitors, as well as for removing special hazardous gases, by utilizing various organic wastes and by-products. From the undergraduate level, they are nurturing talent related to these fields and producing diverse research outcomes that meet industrial demands.
