The 2024 Taiwan Innotech Expo held its awards ceremony on October 19th, featuring various countries' inventors and institutions. This year, National Chung Hsing University participated with several patents in the invention competition area, winning 3 platinum awards, 2 gold awards, 4 silver awards, and 1 bronze award, showcasing remarkable achievements.

iSNR professor Ming-Chun Lu was awarded the Platinum Award  with the patent " Method and equipment for recovering carbon dioxide using absorption and homogeneous crystallization technology." Fluidized Bed Homogeneous Crystallization Technology for Capturing and Recycling CO2 from Flue Gas” involves absorbing CO2 from flue gas at normal temperature and pressure to produce homogeneous calcium carbonate crystals. This technology can reuse high-calcium brine, incineration fly ash, or basic-oxygen-furnace (BOF) slag as calcium sources. The high-quality, light calcium carbonate crystals produced can be recycled for industrial uses such as in paper, rubber, plastics, and coatings.
