Consultancy services

The Research Group has a long and fruitful experience in industrial research collaborations.

Consultancy services are aimed at supporting from a technological-scientific point of view the companies which work in the fields of chemical processes and synthesis, environmental services and analysis, and energy and manufacturing productions.

Specifically we can:

design new chemicals and processes based on renewable resources, low-toxic compounds, cheap materials and energy saving principles, following the guidelines of REACH regulation; perform chemical analysis and develop new analytical techniques for the detection of pollutants in the environment and specific chemical intermediates and products in industrial processes.

The following equipments/techniques are available in our labs:

  • Chemical analysis: Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Gas Chromatography Ion Flame Detection (GC-FID) High Pressure Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS and HPLC-MS/MS and UV-VIS Spectroscopy (HPLC-UV-Vis) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H and 13C NMR) Elemental Analyzer (CNHS) Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Ion Chromatography (IC) Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS - GFAAS)
  • Biological analysis: Biodegradation Tests (soil and water)
  • Eco-toxicity Tests (freshwater algae, crustacean, bacteria, worms, cell lines)
