Reaction Engineering & Combustion

AIM:

Research (experimental and modelling) and lectures:

-) gas – solid flow
-) heat- and mass transfer
-) chemical reactions
for
-) reactor design
-) process development
-) process optimization
in the areas of
=> energy technology (combustion, devolatilization)
=> environment technology (NOx, SO2, CO2, CO, HCl, Asche)
=> metallurgical industry (iron ore reduction, blast furnace, sinter process)
=> chemical industry (oxy-chlorination, catalysis)
