Construction Technology, De Nayer (Sint-Katelijne-Waver) Campus KU Leuven
The research group Materials and Structures at Campus De Nayer performs research related to the optimization of material usage, structural components and structures in view of sustainable construction. Research is performed in the field of design and analysis of metallic, concrete and composite components and structures. Numerical techniques are employed together with experimental techniques to develop new theoretical methods and innovative ...
Geology KU Leuven
The researchers from the Department of Geology concentrate on the study of Planet Earth. In particular we study the geosphere – the ‘solid’ Earth – and try to figure out the significance of processes in the geosphere with respect to the functioning of Earth’s systems from global to local scale. In our research we look into ‘deep time’, but always in the perspective of the challenges our society faces today and in the future. Besides the ...
Society and Environment University of Antwerp
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems Section KU Leuven
In this group physico-chemical and chemical thermodynamic principles, proces technology and methods of analytical chemistry are used in studies related to environmental problems. Research topics are: a. Physico-chemical treatment of process water, drinking water and wastewater and of solvent streams by the use of membrane processes. Currently mainly nanofiltration and pervaporation are studied (also in hybrid processes e.g. with ...
Sustainable Chemical Process Technology, De Nayer (Sint-Katelijne-Waver) Campus KU Leuven
Technology Cluster Sustainable Chemical Process focuses on the domain of resource recovery and the production of renewable chemicals and energy carriers from waste, side and biomass streams. Examples of studied processes include wastewater treatment processes, mixed-culture microbial processes and the production of renewable chemicals by thermal, chemical and biochemical conversion technologies.
Mechanical Engineering Technology, Diepenbeek Campus KU Leuven
The Mechanical Engineering Technology Cluster groups research and service-to-society in the field of Mechanical Engineering at the different engineering Technology Campuses of KU Leuven.
