چکیده
The research activity of the Chair of Colloid and Environmental Chemistry concentrates on the studies of processes in heterogeneous and nanostructured systems and the development of new analytical tools and methods which can be used for the environmental-friendly treatment of wastes. We are working out mathematical models for transition processes of pollutants in solid and liquid industrial waste with the aim to describe chemical processes occurring with these compounds in environment.
