Advanced Reactor Technology

The research group Advanced Reactor Technology (ART) focusses on the development of state-of-the-art reactors for Industrial chemical processes. More specific ART designs electrochemical, plasma and microreactors. The emphasis in the field of electrochemistry is on the development and optimisation of reactors for the organic electrosynthesis of materials. Consequently, the group is active in the domain of electrochemistry (electrosynthesis, electrocatalysis, ...).The scope is to improve controlability, flexibility and energy efficiency of the reactions through reactor design. The research within the plasma domain consists of the development of versatile small plasma-flowreactors and its applications. Micro- and nanoreactor research is done on flow chemistry and synthesis of organic linkers.
