THEMATIC RESEARCH AREAS AND PROJECTS

Each Research Unit (RU) is involved in one of the six thematic areas of research of INCA. Detailed information about the RUs of INCA can be found in the self-evaluation section of the assessment:

1. enzymatic biological and biomimetic techniques for eco-sustainable syntheses and the decontamination of the environment (BIO);
2. heterogeneous catalysis for eco-sustainable syntheses and the decontamination of the environment (HET);
3. eco-sustainable synthesis (solvents control, photochemistry, catalysis, recycling, etc.) (SYN);
4. decontamination techniques (membranes, sonochemistry, photocatalysis, electrochemistry, etc.) (DEC);
5. chemistry of ecosystems (soil, water, and air chemistry; impact of synthetic materials on the environment (ECO);
6. new monitoring techniques (MON).
