Basel Al-Rudainy

Basel Al-Rudainy is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Division of Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. His work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for energy transition and water sustainability. Key research themes include membrane technology, lignin recovery, and circular food process engineering.

• Focus Areas: Membrane fouling, lignocellulosic biorefineries, cellulose fiber processing
• Current Projects: DESOLINATION (solar desalination), REsilient WAter Innovation, ProDAC (DiAlcohol Cellulose production)

His research emphasizes sustainable hybrid processes (e.g., forward osmosis-membrane distillation) and lignin valorization using organosolv methods. Recent publications explore activated carbon adsorption for chemical regeneration and stormwater particle settling models.

• Expertise: Polymer technologies, catalytic processes, water-energy nexus, biorefinery systems
• Collaborations: Active partnerships with European Horizon 2020 projects and international teams
