Researchers from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China, visited the Institute of Chemical Engineering at BAS from 12 to 20 August. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nan Zhang and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zhaoli Zhang were visiting as part of a joint research project on “High-efficiency solar thermal systems integrated with engineered phase-change materials”. The team comprises researchers from the “Transfer Processes in Multiphase Media” laboratory, headed by Prof. Daniela Dzhonova-Atanasova, and colleagues from the Central Laboratory for Solar Energy and New Energy Sources of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. During the visit, the guests were introduced to the research activities of the Institute of Chemical Engineering and toured the laboratories where they had the opportunity to see the prototypes and experimental [...]

The 22nd International Symposium on Solubility Phenomena and Related Equilibrium Processes (22ISSP) opened today in Sofia. The international scientific forum is taking place until 3 September at the National Centre of Excellence in Mechatronics and Clean Technologies, Geo Milev Campus. The conference is attended by scientists, researchers and specialists from 18 countries, including Germany, Spain, Portugal, the USA, Australia, Brazil and others. The symposium is organised by the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of BAS in collaboration with “Prof. Dr Assen Zlatarov” State University - Burgas and is included in the official calendar of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The programme of 22ISSP covers a wide range of contemporary scientific issues relating to the phenomena of solubility, phase equilibria, the [...]
