Member introduction
The Laboratory of green chemistry aims to decrease amount of produced waste when manufacturing new products. It also aims to minimize use of energy and materials in different chemical and industrial processes.
In the Laboratory of Green Chemistry the focus is on minimizing the hazard and maximizing the efficiency of any chemical choice. One approach is also to find new solutions to prevent and decrease environmental pollution.
Laboratory is located to Mikkeli and Head of the Laboratory is Professor Mika Sillanpää. Laboratory´s main function is conduct research and development activities and provide teaching and supervision for graduate and postgraduate students. There are approximately 35 researchers, M.Sc and PhD students, postdoctoral and visiting researchers. Three key Post doctoral researchers assist Mika in leading the research and teaching at the laboratory.

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) Pilot Plant
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been considered as one of the most promising alternative to the conventional activated sludge processes (CASP) for wastewater treatment and water reclamation.
Ask about availabilityAOP Pilot plant
AOP pilot plant is used for the degradation of organic pollutants from water or wastewater.
Ask about availabilityThin film coating (Dip)
Dip coating process is used for deposition of thin films on the surface of different substrates glass slides, titanium plates, etc.) from inorganic precursors. Thin films obtained using this method are widely used for water treatment by AOPs.
Ask about availabilityThin film coating equipment (ALD)
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a self-limiting, sequential surface chemistry that deposits conformal thin-films of materials onto substrates of varying compositions.
