Group description
The group “Separation Processes and Materials Preparation Following Green Chemistry Principles Using Supercritical Fluids”, ref 910632 is made up of multidisciplinary researchers from two departments: Chemical Engineering and Physical Chemistry at Complutense University of Madrid.
Dr. Lourdes Calvo Garrido, Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department will support the candidate (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lourdes-calvo-garrido-ba095620/).The following professors are also group members: Dr. Albertina Cabañas y Dr. Concepción Pando both from the Physical Chemistry Department.
The group develops Processes based on the use of Green Solvents, mainly supercritical fluids, including the thermodynamic behaviour and the modelling thereof:
1] Supercritical extraction
2] Preparation of advanced nanomaterials by various techniques: impregnation, SAS and SFEE. In this project we work in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Technology department for the characterization and functionality of the prepared materials.
3] Sterilization of sensitive materials, in the food, medical and military fields.
The team has a project from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, ref RTI2018-097230-B-I00 in force. In the last 5 years, the group has published 1 patent, 34 JCR paper and supervised 5 PhD Thesis and many Master students.
