Research Fields

The Research Center for Modern Separation Technologies (RCMST) at Shanghai University of Engineering Science was established in the January of 2014, funded by the project of City Level Subjects of Shanghai Municipality (No. 14XKCZ04). RCMST has following two aims: (1) To stand in the research frontier of separation science and technology in China and, (2) To provide enabling research and research training of the highest quality to the students and researchers.

RCMST focuses its research area on Chemical Separation Engineering and Environmental Resources Engineering. Main research topics cover the mechanism and process control of pharmaceutical crystallization, novel media and technologies for membrane separation and chromatographic separation, the coupling of chromatography and crystallization, the applications of modern separation technologies into green manufacturing and resources recycling, etc.
