Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris |
Founded in 1896, the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris (ENSCP) is an engineering school in chemistry with an emphasis on promoting engineer’s education by training, through research and in close relationship with industry.
ENSCP has about 200 research, teaching and technical staff and 350 students at BSc, MSc (ENSCP diploma of Engineer), PhD and post-PhD levels. Its research centre consists of 8 laboratories, 7 of which are affiliated with CNRS.
Research and education within ENSCP are conducted along 5 different development axes:
- structure, properties and applications of materials
- life Chemistry
- processes energy and sciences
- chemistry and radiochemistry of the back-end of the nuclear cycle, waste treatment
- theoretical chemistry and modelling of real systems.
In the field of nuclear chemistry, as far as education is concerned, ENSCP has created, in 1998, graduate training courses focused on chemistry and radiochemistry of the back-end of the nuclear cycle, in close cooperation with the major French actors in this field (CEA, EDF, AREVA, ANDRA, IRSN, CEPN).
ENSCP is furthermore entitled to deliver two master degrees in this field:
- radiochemistry: from the nuclear industry to the environment (in partnership with Paris Sud University, Ecole Centrale Paris and CEA-INSTN)
- nuclear chemistry, radioactive waste processing (in partnership with CEA-INSTN and Tsinghua University – Beijing)
Hereby, ENSCP takes advantages of its on-going research activities, that are mainly related to:
- matrixes for minor actinides(synthesis, structural studies and numerical modelling)
- experimental study and modelling of radionuclides onto minerals
- actinides separation processes (hydrometallurgy, pyrochemistry and chemistry in low temperature ionic liquids).
ENSCP is presently involved in 2 projects in the frame of the ACTINET – Network of Excellence:
- Project JRP 02-26: Spectroscopy and quantum chemistry applied to surface speciation onaluminum oxy-hydroxides with FZR (10), FZK (03) and UPC (24)
- Project JRP 02-16: Neptunium interaction with green rust (Fe(II),Fe(III)-sulfate,hydroxide)with KU (13) and FZK (03)
