DEPARTMENT
OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
The chemical engineering department was established in 1982
at the Isfahan University of Technology (IUT). The department has constantly
developed so that the total number of the graduated students has been ever-increasing. Full time faculty are teaching and
investigating in the different fields of Chemical Engineering including
Transport Phenomena, Process Control, Process Design, Reaction Engineering,
Polymer Sciences, Biotechnology, and Nano as well as Bio-Materials in the
equipped laboratories available in the department. At the present time,
graduate and undergraduate students are studying in the three primary majors of
Petrochemical Processes, Polymer Sciences, and Biotechnology.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The B.Sc. Program includes one of the three
majors:
Petrochemical Industries, Polymer Industries, and Biotechnology.
Undergraduate students must take 20 credits in general education courses, 50 credits in basic science courses, 60 credits of major-specific courses and 10 credits in elective courses (a total of 140 credits) to qualify for the B.Sc. degree.

Research Areas:
Supercritical Fluid Technology: Principles and Applications
Over the past two decades supercritical fluid processing
has shown great promise in addressing many of the technical challenges faced by
scientists and engineers. Supercritical fluids have proved to be effective
solvents and mediums for applications in chemical, petrochemical, nanotechnological,
food, pharmaceutical and environmental processes. The principles and practice
of supercritical fluid technology and their diverse applications in
nanotechnology, separation, reaction, extraction, and purification are the
research subjects of this group. As nanoparticle design is presently a major
development in supercritical fluids applications, mainly in the pharmaceutical,
nutraceutical, cosmetics and specialty chemistry industries, the following two
techniques are currently used to manufacture nanoparticles (nanocatalysts),
nanocapsules, liposomes or other dispersed materials like microfibers. Two
important methods have been developed to form nanoparticles, namely, RESS
(Rapid Expansion from Supercritical Solution) and SAS (Supercritical
Anti-Solvent) process. Interconnecting the fundamentals of supercritical fluid
technology to controlled drug delivery in medical applications is another
important research activity of this group. In addition, Supercritical Fluid Extraction
(SFE) is the process of separating one component from another (the matrix)
using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvents. SFE can be
used as a sample
preparation step for analytical purposes, or on a larger scale to either strip unwanted
material from a product or collect a desired product. In the field of
extraction processes, using supercritical fluids such as CO2 overcomes many
drawbacks linked to the use of liquid organic solvents such as liquid hexane.
In this context, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, as an efficient
extraction method, has attracted much attention during the last two decades due
to its advantages including being non-explosive, non-toxic, and available in
high purity with low cost and non-solvent residues. Besides, the extraction by
supercritical CO2 omits the unit operations such as distillation in comparison
with classical processes using hexane. Another field is focused on the studies
associated with using supercritical carbon dioxide to extract a wide variety of
contaminants from environmental matrices. This includes the remediation of
soils contaminated with polyaromatic hydrocarbons, extraction of metals from
water via chelation in supercritical carbon dioxide, supercritical regeneration
of activated carbon adsorbents and extraction of trace contaminants from
aqueous waste solutions.
The research subjects of this group include:
(1) Experimental Techniques in High-Pressure Studies
(2) Process Operations
(3) Industrial Applications
(4) Supercritical Fluid Process Development Studies
(5) Polymer and Monomer Processing
(6) Processing Pharmaceuticals, Natural Products, Specialty
Chemicals, and Waste Streams (7) Chemical Reactions in Supercritical Fluids

Several Faculty members are engaged in experimental,
computational and physical aspects of convective heat transfer and fluid
dynamics relevant to a wide range of engineering applications of such
phenomena. Examples of specific topics addressed by the group are: convective
heat transfer, numerical methods in heat transfer and fluid flow, heat transfer
in complex geometries, development of rheological equations of state for
non-Newtonian liquids, problems involved in heat and mass transfer in Newtonian
and non-Newtonian fluids, turbulent flow and heat transfer, two phase flow,
membrane processes, and separation technologies.
Water Treatment and Pollution Control
Water is a valuable resource in the central plateau of Iran and
the continuing industrial and agricultural developments in the region is an
ever growing challenge for the researchers concerned with the conservation and
protection of water resources. Increasing the efficiency and improvement of the
industrial water producing facilities in the major process plants of the region,
monitoring and modelling dispersion of hazardous chemical wastes in
Zayandeh-Rood and the development of processes for manufacturing the major
water treatment chemicals utilized by the region's industries are among the
goals of this research group.
Corrosion
and Electrochemical Engineering
Many aspects of corrosion and electrochemical engineering are
addressed by this group. The development and characterization of organic and
inorganic inhibitors, evaluation of corrosion behavior of coatings on metals, cathodic
protection of steel in soils and concrete, corrosion in water and petroleum,
corrosion of steel in polymer impregnated concrete and investigating the
stability of passive films by DC and AC techniques are among the subjects being
investigated.
The group is undertaking kinetic studies in corrosion by applying
the AC-Impedance technique. Different electrochemical methods are to be applied
in the production of organic and inorganic substances. Furthermore,
electrochemical models are to be developed for enhancing the separation of
impurities in solutions.
Distillation & Separation Processes
A diverse set of separation
processes are under investigation by members of this group examples of which
are: simulation as well as experimental studies in tray type and packed
distillation columns, separations based on the use of surface active agents,
novel techniques on the basis of fundamental surface studies e.g. the apron
flotation, electrodialysis and other membrane based separation techniques.
Polymer
Technology
The activities of this group are focused on polymerization,
polymer processing, polymer degradation and radiation chemistry. The effect of
different additives on polymer structures is investigated by applying different
techniques. In the area of radiation
chemistry, an x-ray source is
used for chemical modification of polymers. Investigating the degradability of
polyolefins for producing life-controlled polymers is an integral part of the
program pursued by this group.
In addition to research activities
cited, the faculty members are involved in diverse research activities on fluid
mechanics, coupled transport processes, chemical reaction engineering, process
simulation and process control.

Different research activities and projects are currently performed in this group including: Bioenergy, Bioethanol, Biogas, Sustainable Resources, Environmental Biotechnology, Enzyme purification, and Bioprocesses.
Biotechnology is one of three major fields of undergraduate study in this Department for students to gain the required and useful skills for advanced studies and investigations. These students take 10 credits of elective courses and 2 specialized Labs.

Nanofluid Research Group |
|
Conventional heat transfer fluids play an important role
in a number of industries such as power generation, chemical processes, etc,
but these fluids are inadequate for high heat flux applications due to
restrictions of their thermal properties. Development of high performance
heat transfer fluids has been a subject of numerous investigations in the
past few decades. One way of improving the thermal performance of fluids is
to suspend small particles in them. Early studies used suspensions of milli-
or micrometer sized particles which faced problems such as abrasion and
channel clogging. In recent years, modern technologies have permitted the
manufacturing of particles of nanometer scale. Fluids with nanoparticles suspended
are called nanofluids and have shown potential to resolve some
disadvantages associated with the suspensions of large particles. The aim of this research group is to identify and
understand thermal behavior and flow features of nanofluids. |
