RawMatters at Aalto University, a sub-section of the national RAMI infrastructure, covers the research facilities at the School of Chemical Engineering that operate in the field of inorganic materials (metals, oxides etc.), focusing on metals and ceramics at bulk or nano-level, in solid or aqueous environments.
The research enabled by the infra can be divided to materials science and chemistry, electrochemistry, metal processing and recycling.
RAMI Raw Materials is a national, joint research infrastructure operated with Geological Survey of Finland and Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT, concentrating on inorganic material research needed in the circular economy. At Aalto University, the focus is on process, characterisation, and recycling of primary and secondary raw materials, and on the search for new cutting-edge material replacements, for e.g., future sustainable technologies.
