prof. Libero SESTI OSSÉO - Breve CV

Libero Sesti Osséo è Professore Associato di Impianti Chimici presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale dell'Università degli Studi di Salerno, dove insegna nel Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Chimica “Impianti dell’Industria di Processo” e nel Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Chimica “Impianti Chimici II”. E’ stato titolare negli anni dei corsi di Unit Operations and Advances Unit Operation, Dinamica e Controllo dei Processi Chimici, Food Processing, Ingegneria Chimica Ambientale nei corsi di Laura di Ingegneria Chimica e Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Chimica e Food Engineering.

E’ stato vicedirettore in corsi Executive per lo sviluppo di competenze trasversali per dirigenti d’azienza “Sa.Le, Salerno Leadership”, presso l’Università di Salerno nel 2018 e del corso Executive “Achieving Results” presso Bologna Business School, nel 2021.

Attualmente si occupa di processi innovativi dell’economia circolare, Life Cycle Assesment e recupero dei metalli pregiati presenti nelle batterie per automotive a fine vita. Ha effettuato principalmente studi sul Circulating Fluid Bed (CFB) e sulle sue possibili applicazioni reattoristiche endotermiche ad alta temperatura, sui processi di estrazione e concentrazione con fluidi supercritici a partire da matrici o materie prime naturali. Ha diretto programmi di ricerca su materiali innovativi in ambito aeronautico e biomedicale.

Prima del suo coinvolgimento accademico, il professor Libero Sesti Osséo è stato senior process engineer presso la Kinetics Technology International (KTI) a Zoetermeer (NL), con incarichi di leader process engineer per la progettazione di impianti di etilene, idrogeno e Oxo e ha collaborato allo sviluppo di un innovativo reattore EDF (per ottenere Teflon), nonché alla progettazione di una Caldaia Pilota a Letto Fluido Circolante alimentata da Combustibile Derivato da Rifiuti. Il Professor Libero Sesti Osséo ha iniziato la sua carriera professionale nella filiale italiana di KTI a Roma, occupandosi di progettazione di forni di raffineria, incenerimento rifiuti industriali e trattamento fumi, steam reformer e steam cracker.
