Laboratory for Chemical Technology
The Lab
Since 1994, the Laboratory for Chemical Technology integrates chemical science and engineering in its research.
LCT has a strong expertise which covers everything from materials synthesis, through chemical analysis and characterization in both nano and bulk functional materials and offers transversal and multi-disciplinary skills in several fields like organic syntheses, polymers, development of new green catalytic systems and extraction techniques of natural matrices. LCT conducts both fundamental and applied research and it is active mainly in three areas of chemical science:
- chemical synthesis
- bioprocesses and biotechnology
- and materials technology.
It develops new analytical methodologies in the field of materials, in the agri-food field as well as in environmental monitoring of chemicals in different samples (water, sediments, biological matrices). The laboratory has many years of experience in the synthesis and characterization of organic and organometallic compounds using advanced techniques (HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-VIS, FT-IR, ICP).
