Professor Lee's Laboratory For general assistance call Melody at (573) 341-4453 Take a sneak peek of our Virtual Lab Tour
Our research program addresses tasks pertaining to chemical process engineering as applied to emerging technology, enhancing conventional technology and green engineering, as well as trouble-shooting of problems encountered in the chemical industry. Specifically, our research expertise lies in the areas of alternative fuels, transportation fuels, hydrogen technology, supercritical fluid technology, polymerization and polymer processing, chem/bio counterterrorism, chlorine dioxide technology, scale-up and scale down, and process engineering optimization. Our research has resulted in a number of U.S. and foreign patents, licensed technologies, publications in refereed journals, technical reports, as well as articles in national and international conference proceedings. The research team comprises of, besides Professor Sunggyu Lee, several research associates, visiting scholars, doctoral and masters level graduate students, as well as undergraduate research students. Equipment and instruments in our research facility include an extensive list of energy processing systems and fuel characterization equipment as well as the state-of-the–art equipment for polymer processing, polymer reactions and polymer characterization. The list includes: 6 Self-peripheraled Supercritical Fluid Process Systems (minipilot scale), 2 Continuous and Semi-batch Coal Desulfurization Reactor Systems, an Oil Shale Extraction System,4 High-pressure Catalytic Reactor Systems, 1 Slurry Methanol Synthesis Reactor, 2 DME-to- Hydrocarbon Reactor Systems (minipilot scale), Acid Gas Removal System, Water Gas Shift Reactor, Coal-Water Slurry Blender, Coal Steam Stripper, Coal Extractor, GC/MS, 6 GC's (TCD, FID, and ECD), FTIR, HPLC, Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOC), S analyzer, CHN Elemental Analyzer, Cl Elemental Analyzer, Proximate Analyzer of Solid Fuels, BET/Chemisorption Surface Analyzer, Ash Fusion Analyzer, Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter, Coulter Counter, Injection Molding Machine, Twin-screw Extruder and Peripherals, Cast Film Processing, Single-screw Extruders (2.5”, 1.5”, and 0.75”), 4 Polymerization and Graft-copolymerization Reactor Systems (with Separate Peripherals), an Emulsion Polymerization Reactor System (minipilot scale), Processall Polymer Reaction/Modification System (minipilot scale), Nano-particle Processing System, Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyzer (DMTA), Tensile Tester and Textile Analyzer, 3 Mooney Viscometers, Rheometer, GPC, a High-power Optical Microscope, Ohio-state Heat Release Measurement System for Flame Retardancy Test, Brabender High-shear Mixers, Henschel Mixers, Freeze Dryer, Ultracentrifuge, Spray Dryer, Bag Filter System, Walk-in Incubator, 2 Fermenter Systems, Environmental Hood, Chlorine Dioxide Generating Systems (pilot scale), Low-temperature Plant Extractor System, and more.For more details or specific inquiries, please contact us. |
