Prof. Antonio Marcomini travels to Soochow University to offer a seminar on PFAS

On October 15, Prof. Antonio Marcomini, the director of Ca’ Foscari’s Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics, visited Soochow University at the invitation of Prof. Xu Qingfeng, a chemical engineer, in order to give a seminar for fellow professors, doctoral students and post-docs entitled “Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water: environmental occurrence, analytical challenges, removal technologies”. His presentation stimulated a rewarding discussion afterward.
In addition, Prof. Marcomini met with the professors in the university’s Faculty of Chemistry who are involved in the joint research project currently underway in order to share and discuss their results and to plan draw up the work plan for the coming year.
Prof. Marcomini’s visit was made possible thanks to the Erasmus+ project involving Ca’ Foscari and Soochow University, one which had already facilitated a travel period for Prof. Livio Zanini earlier in the year.
