Research topics

A research unit of 240 people working in the field of catalysis to produce energy; environmental remediation; reusing recyclable resources; and atmospheric chemistry. IRCELYON has all the analytical and physico-chemical characterisation tools of catalysts to push forward the frontier of knowledge in our field, while taking an integrated catalyst-reactor-reaction approach. Many partnerships with industry and universities

Subjects

  • Air processing and gas effluents - atmospheric chemistry
  • Water processing and liquid effluents
  • Refining and innovative reuse of hydrocarbons
  • Functional and nanostructure materials
  • Reuse of bioresources and green chemistry
  • Engineering and intensification of processes
  • Clean and renewable energies
  • Surface science
