Overview

About the programme

Of particular importance in this Chemical Technology programme at Luleå University of Technology is the development of materials for chemical engineering applications.

We develop membranes, adsorbents and catalysts to reduce energy use in the chemical industry and enable competitive production from renewable raw materials. We also work with basic materials studies and process development to improve the quality of chemical products.

Programme Structure

Research areas include:

Zeolite membranes for effective production of biofuels
Production of renewable fuels by pervaporation through zeolite membranes
Zeolite membranes for effective production of biofuels
Optimum structured adsorbents for gas separation processes
Interactions between iron oxides and silicates
