Scientific and Research Programme

Water treatment by ion exchange technology 

• removal of contaminants from potable water (heavy metals, nitrates, chlorinated organics, etc.)
• purification of industrial waste waters (separation of metals from chelating agents, selective removal of toxic aniont, etc.)
• purification of chemical substances or process streams from contaminants 

Corrosion and material protection in energy production systems

• chemistry of steam and relations to turbine corrosion processes
• corrosion problems in steam generators of nuclear power plants
• Moessbauer spectroscopy of corrosion products and metal-inhibitor interaction products
• acoustic emission of stress corrosion cracking
• electrochemical studies of corrosion processes (impedance spectroscopy, polarization techniques)

Energy and Material Utilization of Biomass, Alternative Fuels and (Bio)Wastes

• Thermochemical processes (Group of Pyrolysis and Gasification)
• Analysis of solid fuels, biofuels, (bio)wastes and samples from power engineering sector
• Energy savings and accumulation
