Scale up of Mechanochemical Reactions

The COST Action Mechanochemistry for Sustainable Industry (MechSustInd) aims at community building of mechanochemists across Europe. Education of young researchers, training of specialised scientists, engineers and technologists, promoting excellence and cross-fertilization among different fields is one of the important objectives of the Action.

The course will enable participants to gain basic training in carrying out and to scale up (to kg-amounts) solid state reactions in general using different types of ball mills.

The main aims of the school are:

1. To transfer mechanochemical experiments with ball mills from g– to kg-scale.
2. To learn on how to follow the reaction progress with sampling and different analyticalmethods.
3. To get familiar with big ball mills for industrial applications.

The presented knowledge should increase the use of mechanochemistry for processes on kg– and industrial scale.

The school is organised in a hybrid format.
The theoretical lessons will be also accessible online for anyone.
The experimental sessions are available only for physically present participants. Travel grants for trainees are available.
The school capacity for the experimental part is 10 trainees.

Deadline for applications is Sunday 26 February 2023.
The details on the application process and further information are described in the call for trainees.
