Interdisciplinary Research Center for Membrane and Water Security organized a Seminar under the title: Development of Adsorption Processes

The presenter: Edward Weist

Principal Research Associate, Air Products

He develops adsorption processes for gas separation and purification. Also, contributed to the successful deployment of adsorption processes: hydrogen purification; recovery of carbon dioxide; helium purification; removal of carbon dioxide and water from air; purification of nitrogen from polymer processing purge gas streams. He has also studied: the separation of ozone and oxygen; the adsorption of hydrocarbons from natural gas; temperature swing adsorption. Edward Weist has a BS in CHE from the University of Pittsburgh and a PhD in CHE with a focus on characterization of porous materials and heterogeneous catalysis from the University of Massachusetts.
