Circular Economy

Solutions for designing circular economy strategies across different areas: optimisation of industrial processes, waste revalorisation, and life cycle assessment (LCA), to ensure more sustainable processes with a 360º perspective.

We help companies design circular economy strategies across various areas: industrial process optimization, waste valorization, and life cycle assessment (LCA), ensuring more sustainable processes with a 360º vision.

WE PROMOTE CIRCULAR MODELS THAT GENERATE VALUE AND COMPETITIVENESS FOR COMPANIES THROUGH COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY AND THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR.

BUSINESS SERVICES:

  • Life cycle assessment (LCA) and sustainability analysis of products and processes.
  • Waste (materials) valorization solutions.
  • Biomethane production through waste valorization.
  • Development of sustainable materials.
  • Transformation of batch processes into continuous processes (Flow Chemistry).
  • Innovation and optimization of industrial processes (based on Green Chemistry principles).
  • Consulting services to optimize industrial facilities.

Flow Chemistry Unit

The Flow Chemistry Unit includes a pilot plant and laboratory equipment for carrying out flow chemistry reactions aimed at the development and industrial scale-up of fine chemistry processes. It carries out research and technology transfer activities for companies in the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry sectors. It has a team of professors and researchers with solid experience in the industrial environment.

IQS-JEOL NMR PLATFORM

IQS-JEOL NMR Platform laboratory, created in 2024, arises from the collaboration agreement signed between JEOL as a leading company in the manufacture of scientific equipment and IQS as a university center. The acquisition of two new generation NMR machines by IQS promotes university research into the study of the technique and its application in industrial environments such as the field of chemistry, biochemistry and the medical-pharmaceutical a reas. The collaboration between the two entities allows the interrelationship between JEOL experts and IQS teaching and research staff.

Thermal Analysis Laboratory

Laboratory in the field of chemical engineering focused on the thermal characterisation of chemical substances or mixtures. It covers activities related to the thermal safety of chemical processes, industrial safety, simulation and optimisation of chemical processes and the performance of thermal analysis and calorimetry.

Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Unit

Unit comprising different laboratories for advanced research and technology transfer activities mainly related to polymeric materials, biomaterials, ceramic materials and graphene. It includes special areas for microscopes and image analysis, equipment for materials characterisation and laboratories for vascular engineering and biomaterials.

IQS-SCIEX Demo Lab

Laboratory arising from the collaboration between SCIEX and IQS to promote research in chemical analysis techniques based on high resolution mass spectrometry. This partnership makes the availability of powerful new generation equipment possible in a university environment where research promotes the study of the analytical techniques and their application in industrial environments such as chemistry, biopharma, biotechnology, and proteomics. The cooperation between both entities includes the joint work between SCIEX experts and IQS professors and researchers.

Chromatography Laboratory

Laboratory dedicated to the development and optimisation of analysis methods based on chromatographic techniques. Also dedicated to method validation, transfer and analysis of chemical products in general. It has consolidated experience in the chromatographic analysis of a wide range of matrices, from pharmaceuticals to environmental pollutants.
