Dr. Grande's research interests cover all aspects of adsorption processes, from thecharacterization, scale-up and formulation of new adsorbent materials to processdesign, simulation and testing. His research also covers process intensification routesthat digitalization can bring to industrial manufacturing, such as the effects and novelpathways that can be achieved by using novel architectures of equipment and internals.Projects undertaken by the IMAP Lab involve investigations for diverse industrialapplications such as process modeling (in separation and catalysis), 3D printed reactorsfor enhanced heat and mass transfer, pressure swing adsorption processes to upgradebiogas, new biochar production routes, protein separations, rare-earth metalsseparations and generation of novel shapes for porous materials.​
