Giving back to nature


In an interview, Bhaskar Patil, PhD Candidate, Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), delves into his research on plasma assisted nitrogen fixation and the wonders if it can work for the world.
Insight into the research.
Our current research focuses on developing an alternative energy driven (such as plasma) chemical production, where energy is selectively delivered to the reaction channels which yields higher energy efficiency. It is based on innovations at three levels and guided by a holistic approach; material innovation, process innovation, and plant innovation. Material innovation addresses the need of catalyst and its combination with alternative energy source, process innovation aims to increase productivity and energy efficiency by selective activation of reaction channels, and finally plant innovation looks into distributed/ localized production platform via containerized plant such as “Evotrainer”.
