Research within CBS/GPE aims to answer challenging industrial questions, from basic chemical and biochemical reactions to scale-up and process engineering validation. We investigate new original alternatives in terms of efficiency, greenness, and sustainability while providing innovative technical solutions to industrial and social needs. Our research program is organized around two major areas, chemistry and biochemistry, with the purpose of understanding the molecular mechanisms of each transformation, process and event.

CBS/GPE focuses on integrating new technological innovations while achieving the best environmental performance during all phosphoric acid extraction and transformation steps, i.e., from phosphate rock to the final fertilizers.
