Research profile
The unit claims that only 5 per cent of its research activity belongs to chemistry, the
main topic being chemical engineering (75% basic research and only 25% applied
research). According to the documents available, there was an in-depth change in the
scientific strategy when the head of the Laboratory changed in 2006, and a slight
refining of the new research and strategy of the unit is still underway, according to the
unit’s self-evaluation. Computer-aided techniques and tools for the process synthesis
and analysis continue to be the scientific challenge of the basic research done in
chemical process engineering. In addition to the process design tools, deterministic
modelling of processes (mass and energy balance, phase equilibria, transport
equations and reaction kinetics) for process design purposes offers the connection to
the applied research of the unit. The unit used to specialise in “theoretical process
design”, and is now in the process of getting nearer to application, which in this case
is wastewater treatment and “non-wood” biorefineries (intense collaboration with a
company specialising in this field).
