The department of Chemical Engineering pays a lot of attention to sustainable technologies, and most research can actually be classified as such. There are however several experimental setups present in the lab, which are dedicated specifically for sustainable chemistry applications, such as flue gas cleaning for Waste-to-Energy plants, development of catalyst composition for high temperature flue gas cleaning (biomass gasification gas), configuration optimization of fuel cells for co-generation of chemicals, …
- Simulated hot gas cleaning set-up (up to 1000°C )
- Simulated flue gas cleaning (up to 400°C)
- Hydrogen fuel cells
