Overview

The Chemical Engineering programme of TU Bergakademie Freiberg (abbreviated to "ChemEng") deals with all processes in which substances are changed in their composition, type or properties by mechanical, thermal, chemical or biological processes. The electronic materials in your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC were obtained from raw materials with the help of ChemEng. The plastics, paints, coatings and foams that surround you were produced from chemical raw materials with the help of ChemEng. The food and luxury foods you eat and the medicines you consume are produced from natural substances with the help of ChemEng. Hydrogen, one of the energy sources of the future, is produced with the help of ChemEng. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is "captured" with ChemEng and stored or converted into chemicals, fuels and products. Municipal and industrial residues (waste), waste water and exhaust air streams are treated, purified and/or utilised by ChemEng. This list could be continued endlessly. Surely you have realised by now that ChemEng is a very relevant future technology for our supply of a healthy environment, energy, basic chemicals and food.
