Self-crosslinking , drier free green Alkyd with high Glass transition temperature – ECOM
The ECOM project focuses on sustainable development with new eco-friendly chemical technologies delivering equivalent performances to the ones based on Oil. The targeted market is the coating materials and more specifically the binders. A binder is the main component of a paint formulation and makes
Hydrogenation in Monolith Reactor: a new technology for safe, sustainable and selective units. – HYDROMORE
Through the Hydromore project, the original idea of an intensified heat exchange reactor is proposed for future industrial hydrogenation units. It consists in a monolith-type reactor offering parallel channels of mm scale, dedicated alternatively to the reaction and to the circulation of a cooling f
NANOstructured CAtalysts in Unconventional SYStems – NANOCAUSYS
Undoubtedly, the future of chemistry relies on a better use of matter and energy, and limits its environmental footprint. In this context, NANOCAUSYS contributes to this effort by offering an integrated approach for designing, evaluating and applying in heterogeneous catalysis. This approach relies
Liquid-liquid centrifugal processes for intensified reactions and purifications – xPC
Liquid-liquid heteerogeneous reactions are controlled by catalysis, partitioning and interfacial mass transfer kinetics. CPC has a judicious use of centrifugal acceleration field for phases contacting, in a continuous way, in which the flow rate, the residence time and the exchange area are indepen
Ecofriendly antifouling coatings with tropical marine biocides – BIOPAINTROP
Biofoulings are associated to colonization of artificial submerged structures by aquatic organisms. This process induces adverse effects such as loss of hydrodynamism, weight increase of equipments, … Numerous toxic compounds (copper, arsenic) have been used during decades to avoid biofouling of shi
Safe operation of an intensified continuous heat exchanger-reactor for polyphasic reactions – PolySafe
The PolySafe proposal is entitled “Safe operation of an intensified continuous heat-exchanger reactor for polyphasic reactions”. The partners of the project are: 1. LGC (Laboratoire de Génie Chimique): research laboratory recognized in the field of Process Engineering, which includes a strong act
Emulsion Photopolymerization: Development of Processes and Photoreactors – PHOTOEMULSION
Emulsion polymerization processes are developed at a large scale to produce a polymer in the form of particles dispersed in water, referred to as latex. A water continuous phase is a major asset that has fostered manifold industrial applications including coatings, adhesives, paints, additives fo
ENGinEering of a microbiaL platform for biopolymer and glycoconjugate production – ENGEL
Polysaccharides and oligosaccharides are molecules of interest for many types of applications in Food and Feed (e.g. prebiotics, additives), Agricultural (e.g. fertilizers), Health (e.g. vaccine, antibiotics, antivirals, biomaterials) as well as Bulk and Fine Chemicals (e.g. bioplastics, biosurfacta
Development of grafting processes in supercritical CO2 for microsystems – PROGRESS
The MEMS sector develops promising new applications in the field of life, such as micro and nano-sensors, analyzers and lab-on-chips. Their manufacture requires realizing organic layers deposition with controlled nanometer-range thickness, in order to obtain functional surfaces (sensitive part of th
IMMOBILIZATION OF REUSABLE OLEFIN METATHESIS CATALYSTS : APPLICATIONS IN BATCH & CONTINUOUS FLOW – CFLOW-OM
Chemical industry must perform a deep mutation in order to create innovative, more environmentally friendly technologies. In this context, olefin metathesis appears as an organometallic reaction having a tremendous potential, and is increasingly used in industrial processes because it shortens produ
Chemical valorisation of Lignins: toward fine chemicals and polymers – CHEMLIVAL
The main objective of this research project is to develop new environmentally friendly synthetic pathways for the synthesis of aromatic chemicals by selective heterogeneous catalysis from renewable biomass, here lignins, with a long term application to the synthesis of bio-active molecules and techn
Extra-cellular Substances for Concrete – SEPOLBE
The purpose of this project is to develop eco-friendly products (admixtures) which aim to replace products subjected to REACH authorisation in order to modify the concrete surface and to improve the corrosion resistance of rebars. Reinforced concrete are composite materials made of cement, aggregate
