Inorganic Chemistry – research and researchers

Inorganic Chemistry – research and researchers

Combustion technologies are in state of new challenges. Completely new techniques are being developed for cleaner and more efficient combustion. “Alternative” and “Non-Fossil” fuels such as biomasses and various wastes or waste-derived fuels are heavily entering the scene especially in Europe.A large part of the research activities at the Inorganic Chemistry is connected to the development of cleaner and more efficient combustion technologies. Our recent work has dealt with development of laboratory methods and modelling tools for prediction of the detailed behaviour of various combustion processes. The tools were tested in a number of measurement and sampling campaigns in full-scale combustion processes in many locations in Europe. These tools were used to assist the equipment manufacturing companies in their work to design novel combustion devices.We also study inorganic materials of interest to various applications. We continue our studies on bioactive glasses with optimized properties, we study novel glazes which are easier to keep clean, and we apply our electrochemical measurement systems to support the development of better fuel cell electrode materials and more effective electric capacitors.
