Electromagnetic Separation
we deal with a group of raw material rare-earth with critical technological & economical importance on advancing fundementally their beneficiation, recycling and application. Besides, we also deal with multiphase problems in carbon footprint reductions. Therefore, we are interested in the various multi-physics and multi-scale interaction of multiphase systems in varying gravitational level & electromagnetic field. Currently, we work on:
•Rare-earth magnetic separation & magnetic assisted solvent extraction
•on-demand supply of green H2 and O2 and their input in microbial process stage
•Emulsion systems
