Using STA Instruments to Convert Solid Waste into Energy Materials

Read our latest customer success story by Professor Guozhao Ji, Dalian University of Technology, China! It is about the conversion of solid waste into valuable products by means of the NETZSCH Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (STA). Several scientific papers on this topic have been published.

Dr. Guozhao Ji, born in 1986, received his PhD degree in chemical engineering in 2014 from the University of Queensland, Australia. He completed his MS and BS in mechanical engineering at Northeastern University, People's Republic of China in 2010 and 2008, respectively. Currently, as an Associate Professor, he works at the School of Environmental Science and Technology at Dalian University of Technology in China.

Dr. Ji's research interests include solid waste gasification, kinetic modeling of thermochemical conversions, high-temperatureCO2 capture, and computational fluid dynamic applications in thermochemical processes. He has authored over 100 refereed journal publications, two books and three book chapters, with over 3200 citations and an H-index of 35.

In the following, Dr. Guozhao Ji will give us insights into his research on converting solid waste into energy by means of our NETZSCH Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer. As an example, he will talk about the thermal degradation behaviors of waste tires.
