The subject chemical engineering is defined at Mid Sweden University as the knowledge of and the applications of a renewable raw material (forest) with the aim of providing a scientific basis, which can lead to further development or creation of new ones or improved products and processes, where the wood fiber or materials from the forest product can be utilized. The subject of chemical engineering also includes knowledge of and applications of chemical engineering solutions of a more generic nature, such as in the forest industry can be applied in other industries and societies. The research methodology is interdisciplinary.
Composting and biochar production are two sustainable ways for the valorisation and recycling of organic wastes produced in northern Sweden, which can be combined and used synergistically to reduce...
The project aims to design and investigate a novel cellulose-based filter material with high particle retention and low-pressure drop based on triboelectric effect. The developed material is though...
In the DRIVEN project, Mittuniversitetet together with 23 companies and organizations will develop new courses adapted to the needs of data-driven development in various industries. In the four-yea...
We apply modern visualization and analysis methods to individual wood fiber properties in the pulping process, to control the process toward more consistent product quality and a more energy-effici...
The main goal for this project is to strengthen the development and innovation capacity of small and medium-sized forest companies and networks. The project also aims to promote sustainable...
IRS TransTech will focus on international collaborative research projects that, in addition to solving specific research questions, will increase knowledge on industrial transformation, especially ...
Development of improved CTMP with even sulfonate distribution at fiber level using new XRF analysis.
The electrically insulating properties of cellulose are already used in transformers today. The same properties can also be used in a new invention: the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). In a TEN...
NeoPulp is a Research Profile with a vision to build a pioneering research profile in fibre behaviour during pulping and papermaking processes.
The project is based on innovative and environmentally friendly chemistry engineering for the treatment of wood and cellulose that enables the creation of sustainable products and innovations of th...
This research project focuses on optimizing the sulfonation process in CTMP to enhance fiber bonding and sustainability. By using advanced synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence, it aims to refine...
More international researchers and improved opportunities for companies in the region to recruit internationally—these are a couple of the goals as Mid Sweden University launches an acceleration...
