The research interests of Professor Louis-César Pasquier focus in particular on the treatment of industrial chimney gases. It invests time and effort to develop innovative technologies, for example to treat industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) by mineral carbonation. His research also proposes original ways to treat industrial gases such as sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as fine particles at the source. In addition, he is interested in environmental decontamination and waste recovery.
