Polyvinyl chloride called PVC is the third most produced synthetic polymer in the world. This economic success is explained not only by its low production cost, the excellence of its properties but also by its versatility. This omnipresence results in the abundant generation of waste, the burial and incineration of which remain problematic.

When simulating the transport of pollutants in the subsurface or in the context of water remediation, special attention should be paid to the specific adsorption behavior of complex pollutants.

X-band navigational radars are promising instruments for ocean wave measurements, since the images they provide can be processed to obtain a wave-by-wave reconstruction of the sea surface, within a range of up to several kms.

The PHD project is placed in the context of recycling and recovery of hydrocarbon products such as tires and used plastics. A possible way of reprocessing concerns the py-oils resulting from these products.

The PhD project is proposed in the context of PET waste chemical recycling into PET, via depolymerization. Chemical recycling is needed when plastic feedstocks cannot be mechanically processed, usually for non-transparent PET.

Each day, a human being breathes between 10,000 and 20,000 liters of air, which makes air quality a major concern for citizens and governments.

IFPEN aims to become a key player in the triple energy, ecological and digital transition by offering differentiating technological solutions in response to the societal and industrial challenges of energy and climate. Some of the targeted technologies are industrial processes to produce biofuels, bioproducts and the recycling of plastics.

L’hydrogène est un vecteur énergétique stratégique, pouvant remplacer les énergies fossiles utilisées en mobilité ou pour le stockage d’énergie.
