Developing research for a sustainable nuclear industry and alternative energies

ICSM NEWS

Be on the agenda

PhD defense of Rayan ROCH

from the LNAR team and on the following topic:
"Development of captors integrating carbon for ionizing radiation application"

Defense scheduled for Tuesday, December 16, 2025 at 2:00 PM (ICSM Auditorium).


Teams

Mesoscopic Modelling and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory (LMCT)

The main topics for the LMCT team concern the study of complex systems, and especially those involved in the separation chemistry. To this end, multiscale approaches are preferred, with a peculiar interest for the modelling at mesoscopic scales.

Equipments

Thermal analysis

Thermogravimetric analysis

The Institute for Separation Chemistry in Marcoule (ICSM)

Created in January 2007, the Marcoule Institute in Separation Chemistry (ICSM) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5257) between the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Montpellier (UM) and the National Graduate School of Chemistry in Montpellier (ENSCM). ICSM is composed of 3 research axes gathering 8 laboratories working in close collaboration (see the 2019-2022 scientific report, pdf format):

It is affiliated with the Chemistry Division of the University of Montpellier, as well as the Institute of Sciences and Technologies for a Circular Economy of Low-Carbon Energies (ISEC) within the Energy Division (DES) of CEA Marcoule. In this context, ICSM aims to develop fundamental research with the primary objective of "offering choices" for the development of separation chemistry processes applied to the field of decarbonized energies, while integrating the challenges of sustainable nuclear energy and the broader challenges of recycling for a virtuous circular economy.
