Chemical engineers are concerned with sustainability, the environment and safety as founding principles for economic development.
JCU is one of only 10 universities in Australia offering qualifications in chemical engineering. The discipline has a healthy and ongoing relationship with many of the major process industries in the North Queensland region. As a result, a strong research focus has emerged on issues important to the region’s economy such as:
*
Improvements to sugar processing
*
Copper electrorefining through modelling of fluid flow in electrolysis cells
*
Solvent extraction and the modelling of solvent-solute effects
*
Rheology of non-Newtonian fluids
*
Applied Process Systems Engineering
*
Evaluation and modelling of fire retardant materials.
