Research quality
The research is essentially driven by industrial needs and is concentrated on chemical
issues rather than engineering aspects. The unit has developed analytical methods and
has gained good expertise in the analysis of biomass main components. The
publication record is rather poor in terms of number and journal ranking. Moreover,
no foreign co-authoring is noted.
Research environment
The experimental infrastructure is very good. A wide range of modern analytical
instrumentation for organic and inorganic analysis is available in the unit. The unit
also benefits from the expertise of three technicians. No administrative support is
available. Recruitment of PhD students is difficult; there is a lack of interest by
students in the topic of the applied chemistry unit despite its relevance to the
Finnish chemical industry. Many students also complete a licentiate and go into
industry.
