What we do?
Research Projects
Our starting-points are project-related questions coming from our industrial partners:
- Synthesis of sustainable chemicals
- Valorisation of side streams (giving waste a second life)
- Optimization of existing chemical reactions and making chemical processes ‘greener’
- Designing new (green) analytical techniques and optimization of existing techniques
Herein, we always focus on applied research.
Services in the field of:
- Characterisation of side streams
- Extraction of high-value components from side streams (e.g. through ASE – accelerated solvent extraction)
- Chemical analysis (HPLC, GPC, GC-FID, GC-MS, FTIR, AAS, XRF, NMR)
