In industry methanol is produced from syngas, which is an energy consuming process. The direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol is a more efficient route, but total combustion to COx is difficult to avoid. Zeolites provide a spatial confinement similar to the enzymes. In particular, transition metal e.g. Fe, Ni, Co, Cu exchanged zeolites are proven to be active in the methane-to-methanol conversion.

Y02A: Technologies aiming at or contributing to adaptation to climate change. Creation of new classes for the scheme (in particular, in the areas of air pollution, food processing, food storaging and assessment of water resources), creation of preparations (programs for authomatic patent classification in the new classes) and patent quality-check

"On the thermal effect on the laminar flame propagation in gas/particles dusts: an experimental study" The stage was a part of the RADIAN project, whose goal is to describe the contribution of thermal radiation in the propagation of metallic powder explosions. This work belongs to the experimental part of the project. It was required to develop a method to measure the most important proprieties to characterize a flame (heat flux density, laminar combustion velocity and flame temperature).

The Master of Science in Chemical and Sustainable Processes Engineering has as objective the training of engineers who are able to produce and manage technologic innovation in the process industry through the development of sustainable processes

The Chemical and Food Engineering degree program aims at training a professional figure, who will be able to enter the world of industrial production in many areas thanks to the cross curricular background rooted in a strictly industrial engineering mind-set.
