Environmental chemical engineering
Society is facing major challenges within pollution control and remediation, sustainable energy production/storage, and recycling of waste materials. Generating new knowledge and technological developments are of paramount importance to overcome these challenges. The group of Environmental Chemical Engineering address different aspects of these challenges under the research actions; Advanced Redox and Separation Processes, Active Materials and Green Chemistry.
Vision
- Develop novel cost-effective technologies for water purification
- Enhance recycling of polymeric and composite materials
- Develop new building materials with reduced CO2 footprint
- Extraction and conversion of plant materials to create or destruct specific compounds
- New Systems and methods for sustainable energy production and storage
