Center for Catalysis and Chemical Engineering (CKHI):

The leading and only center in Serbia in the field of catalysis, catalytic processes and chemical engineering.

Research focus:

Fundamental, development and applied research with the aim of industrial application.

Organizational structure:

Consists of the Department of Catalysis and the Department of Chemical Engineering.

Important research areas:

  • Catalysis (heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, enzyme catalysis)
  • Chemical Engineering (fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, separation processes, integrated processes for water and gas purification)
  • Reactor systems (design and manufacture of microreactors)
Possible applications of the research results:
  • Food industry
  • Environmental protection and green energy
  • Medicine
  • Other industries
Infrastructure:

Laboratory for testing the surface, textural, adsorption and catalytic properties of materials, analytical instruments, instruments for electrochemical tests, reactors, systems for the synthesis and preparation of materials, pilot plant for drying.

Human resources:

A highly competent team of researchers with great experience and young talents.

History:

Founded in 1985 by merging the Department of Catalysis and the Department of Chemical Engineering (founded in 1961). Long tradition in the research of textural and surface properties of materials.

International cooperation:

Developed cooperation with institutions in Serbia, the region and abroad.

Priority:

Promotion of young scientists in the field of catalysis and chemical engineering.
