Research interests
The research interests of Professor Pasquier focus in particular on the treatment of gases in industrial chimneys. He develops innovative technologies, for example to treat industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) by mineral carbonation. His research also proposes original methods to treat at the source industrial gases such as sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as fine particles. In addition, he is interested in environmental decontamination and waste recovery.
