Harold Crespo Sariol

Dr.Harold Crespo Sariol has his expertise in characterizing high-porosity materials based on acoustic emission and bubble-metric methods. His research has been addressed in determining the exhaustion degree of the activated carbon used in rum production applying these techniques. Since 2005, He has studied the rum adsorption process and activated carbon regeneration under the partnership of the major rum producer in Cuba. He has worked in Europe in the research group of applied and analytic chemistry (Hasselt University/Belgium) jointly with research groups such as the Laboratory of Adsorption and Catalysis (Antwerp University/ Belgium) and the Department of Polymer and Carbonaceous Material (Wroclaw University/Poland). His analytic methods have been successfully applied in Cuban rum industry. However, His proposed techniques are finding wider potential applications in the assessment and management of different adsorption and catalytic systems and chemical processes which is part of his current work.
