Biography
Juan Adánez, PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Zaragoza (1982). At the moment he is Professor of Research of the CSIC in the Institute of CarboquÃmica of Zaragoza where he has mainly developed his research and of which he was director (2006-2010). In an intermediate stage he was Process Engineer in the National Company of Engineering (INITEC) and Professor of Technical Chemistry at the University of Zaragoza. Has been Deputy Coordinator of the Chemical Technology and Environment area of ​​the Agency National Research and Prospective (ANEP). He is currently in charge of the group of research of excellence "Combustion and Gasification" and since 2014 is Area Manager Energy (ENE) of the Sub-Directorate General for Research Projects of MINECO.
Research Interest
His research has focused on the area of ​​clean energy generation from fossil fuels and biomass, by means of combustion and gasification processes in fluidized bed, with particular emphasis on the efficiency of the process and the environmental impacts. Its research activity is directed towards the combustion technologies in circulating fluidized bed. It has also conducted research on desulphurisation in fluidized bed and gas cleaning in hot, as well as in the modeling and simulation of the processes investigated.
