Transport processes at interfaces

Research Focus:

  • Research flows in resource technology processes
  • Understand sub-processes and identify means of intensification
  • Reserch pilot-scale experiments with advanced measurement techniques
  • Combine experimental data and simulations to understand complex interactions
