Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research in the Department of Chemical Engineering aims at developing creative solutions to challenging problems in the field of separation technology and catalysis by exploiting the new possibilities in materials engineering and nanotechnology. Key to this development process is a thorough understanding of the fundamental events, from the molecular scale to the real life application level. In our group, advanced experimental techniques ...
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems Section KU Leuven
In this group physico-chemical and chemical thermodynamic principles, proces technology and methods of analytical chemistry are used in studies related to environmental problems. Research topics are: a. Physico-chemical treatment of process water, drinking water and wastewater and of solvent streams by the use of membrane processes. Currently mainly nanofiltration and pervaporation are studied (also in hybrid processes e.g. with ...
Analytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The department consists of two research groups. The main subject of the first (Analytical chemistry) is chemometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical methods to chemical data. This includes both fundamental and more applied work. The fundamental work involves for instance the development of more robust neural networks, variable selection in conjunction with partial least squares or wavelet signal processing that can be applied ...
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) KU Leuven
The Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) section is dedicated to contribute to sustainable chemical processing by
- developing intensified and integrated flow sheets
- using continuous reactors and separators
- with alternative energy forms.
Process intensification and integration are key to the overall approach of our research as we aim at the design of new unit processes as well as their ...

Microreactortechnology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
On the one hand, the "microreactors" theme for IW: CH is perfect in the context of their spearheading around process intensification that was just planned. Building on the expertise in the simulation and optimization of separation processes on packed columns, on 1/01/2010, an academic project will begin on the development and manufacture of microfluidic chips for liquid-liquid extraction. On the other hand, at CHIS, the theme was recently ...
