Equipment
In cooperations, we offer services for partners utilizing our experimental facilities. We have a wide variety of analytical and preparative tools available (from the nanometre to a few decimetres) typically found in chemical engineering institutions.
Some exceptional pieces of equipment are:
- Dedicated single-drop measuring cells as basis for extraction-column design to characterize sedimentation, mass transfer, and coalescence
- Standardized settling cells to characterize drop size and coalescence behavior of liquid-liquid dispersions in lab-scale experiments with original material systems, which is information required for quantitative design of gravity settlers
- An array of equipment for the characterization of porous materials (nitrogen adsorption, mercury porosimetry, x-ray tomography) covering the complete range of scales from the nanometer to the millimeter.
- Thermal treatment analysis: TG-DSC, TPD/R/O
- Total organic carbon analyser
- Cone-plate viscometer
- High T kilns (® 1800°C)
- Coaters for thin films: dip, spin, spray, bar
- Profilometer: thickness and rugosity of thin films
- Reactors for photocatalysis
- Helium and mercury pycnometers
- Ar-filled glovebox with 4 working stations
- Potentiostats and battery cyclers with climatic chambers
- Equipment for the preparation of coin cells
- Fuel-cell test benches
- Hydraulic presses (1 and 7 tons)
- HPLC
- Climatic chamber
- Convective dryers for drying materials ranging from a few grams to 1 kg
- Contact dryer for drying powders
- Superheated steam dryer
- Belt filter
- Filter press
- Continuous centrifuge
- Pouch-cells saddle
- Various optical flow visualization benches (PIV, PLIF,...) within a reactor
