Project objective

The integration of reaction and separation in one single apparatus, so-called reactive separation processes, can improve reaction yield and separation efficiency of chemical and pharmaceutical processes. Therefore, during the last decades reactive separation processes have attracted much attention in the scientific community and in industry. Modeling, design as well as optimization and control of such highly integrated processes like catalytic distillation, chromatographic reactors and reactive adsorption are still a challenge. In order to get a better understanding of those complex processes, the research group Integrated Reaction and Separation Processes, funded by the German Research Foundation, has been established at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Dortmund. The Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the largest and most successful Chemical Engineering Departments in Germany. To perform its research the Department of Chemical Engineering has more than 10,000 m^2 of offices and laboratories fully equipped for the design, simulation and experimental validation as well as a technical staff including more than 100 engineers and therefore, provides optimum conditions for more than 100 postgraduate students as well as more than 30 post doctoral researchers ensuring a high quality of both research and international doctoral training. The research group Integrated Reaction and Separation Processes offers Marie Curie Training Site Fellowships for 12 months focused on process synthesis, modeling and simulation as well as optimization and control issues of reactive distillation, reactive chromatography and reactive adsorption processes. Applicants, i.e. postgraduate students, should be enthusiastic, willing to work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary and international research team and engaged in reactive separation processes. Equal opportunities to applicants (women/men) are guaranteed.
