Microwave Intensified reactor – SICMO
Within the framework of a sustainable development in the industrial sector of processing and in particular that of chemistry, this project proposes the development of a miniaturized microwave reactor allowing a safe implementation of any fast chemical reactions at high temperature. Due to its speci
Prediction of the physical properties of next-generation refrigerant fluids – PREDIREF
On account of the constraints imposed by the European and International legislations, the refrigerant industry must constantly find alternative refrigerant fluids that have lower impacts on the global warming of Earth and Ozone layer. Besides the safety and environmental constraints, these alte
Process for olefin hydrosilylation involving nanostructured catalysts – HYSINANO
The objectives are to study two solutions to avoid the platinum «consumption«: either by heterogeneization of the platinum or by its replacement other metals. The first part includes a new synthesis method to avoid the leaching of platinum from the supported material. Platinum doping is also a poss
Frontier Research in Radical Initiating Systems: PhotoRedox Catalysis as a new strategy for polymer synthesis – PHOTOREDOX
In recent years, photopolymerization and notably cationic photopolymerisation (CP) have witnessed intense research effort due to the constant growth of industrial applications associated with the synthesis of new photoinitiators (PI) and monomers. The use of photoinitiated polymerization is continuo
Developing eco-innovative chemical processes to valorise phytoremediation-borne biomasses – PHYTOCHEM
Due to industrial activities and accidents with chemicals, large numbers of sites are contaminated by inorganics and organic xenobiotics, which may represent health and environmental hazards. Pollution of soils has been identified by the European Commission as a major threat to European soils. For t
Novel Selective Heterogeneous Amination Processes for the Synthesis of Bio-based Monomers – SHAPes
The current proposal aims at developing novel eco-efficient processes for the synthesis of highly added value diamine monomers starting from ‘platform molecules’ issued from biomass (especially diols such as 1,3-propanediol and isosorbide). Among the different processes for amine synthesis, the dir
Photocatalytic microchannel Reactors Using Metal-Oxide Semiconductors sensitized with CuInS2 quantum dots arrays – PRUMOS
Medicinal drugs, especially in hospitals effluents, constitute a new type of environmental pollution and possible health risks for the consumers. Indeed, pharmaceuticals like anticancer drugs may cause cancer themselves, even at very low doses, one of the threats of modern chemotherapy. Among the di
From mechanistic studies to environmental friendly process: new methodologies for Cu or Fe catalyzed C-C bond formation – CuFeCCBond
The ANR is designed to support a research project in the field of organometallic catalysis, namely: CuFeCCBond. The proposed research program is within the general framework of green syntheses for sustainable chemistry through the development of new catalytic systems performing challenging reaction
Oxidative cleavage of bio-sourced diols – COUPOX
Oxidation reactions are widely practiced in the Chemical Industry and products obtained through this method represent a huge market. The transformation of alkenes through oxidation processes leads to the production of a large panel of compounds that are used as such or as intermediates in the prepar
Strategic metal recycling in Ionic Liquids by EXtraction and Electrodeposition process – SILEXE
The SILEXE project brings the expertise of three academic laboratories and one industrial partner internationally recognized in the field of ion separation (ICSM-UMR 5257), ionic liquids (LCME-EA 1651), electrochemistry (IJL-UMR 7198) and metal recycling from e-cards (TerraNova). SILEXE will investi
