Thermal Processes Research Group

Aims and Objectives

Thermal Processes Research Group is focused on:

  • Determination of thermal behavior, gasification and pyrolysis potential of coal, plant and animal biomass, domestic and industrial wastes, sludge of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants;
  • Synthesis gas production, clean-up, hydrogen purification by gasification and pyrolysis technologies;
  • Carbon dioxide capture technologies;
  • Production of carbon-rich material and activated carbon from solid outputs (biochar) of gasification and pyrolysis processes;
  • Transition from pyrolysis product pyrolytic oil to platform chemicals.
