Altarriba - Chemistry makes. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) more successfulponenciasexpoquim11The document discusses the role of chemistry in making concentrated solar power (CSP) more successful. It summarizes BASF's contributions to CSP, including producing high-purity sodium nitrate for heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage. BASF is working to develop higher performance heat transfer fluids through screening over 1,000 substances and identifying 4 promising candidates. The document promotes collaboration between BASF and CSP developers to provide improved chemical solutions.
Grossmann - Trends in Chemical Engineering Education: a U.S. PerspectiveOptim...ponenciasexpoquim11The document discusses trends in chemical engineering education in the US. It notes that while bioengineering is seen as a "hot" area, the job market for biomedical engineers is uncertain. Many departments have added "biomolecular" or "biological" to their names. Core subjects are being reduced to make room for new courses, and process control is no longer required at some universities. New areas of focus include energy, sustainability, and innovation. The document advocates modernizing curricula while keeping core chemical engineering knowledge and emphasizing fundamentals, flexibility, and professionalism.
David Serrano - Towards a Sustainable Energy System: Technological Challengesponenciasexpoquim111) Global energy consumption and CO2 emissions have risen significantly in recent decades, driven largely by increased use of coal, oil, and natural gas.
2) China now accounts for over half of global coal production and nearly a quarter of CO2 emissions, up dramatically from 18.7% and 5.7% respectively in 1973.
3) At current rates of increase, atmospheric CO2 levels could reach 440 ppm by 2035 and 470 ppm by 2050, contributing to ongoing climate change challenges.

It explains that chemical engineers design large-scale manufacturing processes to produce products like medicines in a productive and cost-effective way. It then discusses how the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated, from early food and drug laws to current good manufacturing practice regulations, in order to prove product safety and efficacy. A major part of this regulation is process validation to ensure manufacturing processes consistently deliver quality products meeting specifications.

Jaume Veciana - Chemistry: Contibutions to Clinical Therapeuticsponenciasexpoquim11This document discusses nanomedicine and novel drug delivery systems using nanoparticles and vesicles. It describes how compressed carbon dioxide can be used as a green solvent to prepare these particulate drug delivery systems. Examples are given of processing drugs for bronchial asthma and antibiotics for resistant infections using this method. The document also discusses integrating bioactive principles onto the surface and inside of nanovesicles and scaling up the drug delivery system preparation methodology. It concludes by acknowledging collaborators and financial support for this research.
Francesc Rabanal - Chemistry & Biotechnologyponenciasexpoquim11This document discusses the synergies between chemistry and biotechnology. It provides examples of how biotechnology can be used to produce chemical commodities and biomaterials through more sustainable methods like fermentation rather than traditional chemical processes using petroleum. Key areas discussed include using renewable agricultural and plant waste as feedstocks to produce chemicals, plastics, and biofuels. One example highlighted is producing adipic acid from glucose through a renewable process rather than traditional methods using benzene from crude oil. The document concludes that clear synergies exist between chemistry and biotechnology, and sustainable production processes in these fields will continue to expand.

Javier Amayra - Biotechnological Screening in Animal Cell Cultureponenciasexpoquim11The document discusses bioprocess development for animal cell culture. It highlights that screening phases are important but have reproducibility issues when scaling up. The HexaScreen and HexaBatch systems aim to address these issues by providing (1) an automated and controlled multi-vessel screening platform, (2) low volume bioreactors to better mimic industrial scales, and (3) monitoring of key parameters like cell growth, pH and oxygen to improve screening accuracy and translation to later phases. This helps streamline bioprocess optimization from initial screening through production.
