This laboratory has the capability to undertake both fundamental and applied work in different areas of chemical engineering, environmental engineering and polymer-ceramic composites. Regarding thermodynamics measurements, work can be undertaken to collect data on vapor-liquid equilibrium, solubility as a function of temperature and pressure and adsorption of hazardous chemicals in wastewaters and to carry out equilibrium studies and other measurements. Work on the measurement of thermophysical propert ies of liquids, polymers and polymer-composites can be undertaken.
Facilities also exist to undertake studies in supercritical fluid technology.
High pressure boosters and high pressure recirculating pumps are available. The kinetics laboratory has facilities to study chemical reactions and collect kinetic data. FTIR both for analysis and in situ measurements.
