Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Electrochemistry RCH1

Team conducts research on the use of membrane techniques in synthesis and chemical technology as well as in environmental protection. In particular, research is conducted on:

• Use of electromembrane techniques to recover metals from waste streams from the galvanizing industry - concentration and treatment of electroplating wastewater
• Use of electromembrane techniques in chemical synthesis and recycling, e.g. the synthesis of epoxides and (oligo) ethers from organochlorine compounds, in the desalination of aqueous-organic post-reaction mixtures, especially for the recovery of ionic liquids, glim solvents, polyhydroxy alcohols (glycerin, glycols, oligoglycerols, polyglycerols, polyglycerols) sugars)
• Use of membrane techniques for the removal and recovery of boron compounds from industrial waste and natural waters
• Removal and neutralization of inorganic pollutants (boron compounds, metal ions and non-metals) in water and sewage by sorption methods
• Speciation analysis and heavy metal removal
• Obtaining magnesium hydroxide
• New design solutions for spacers in membrane modules
• Laboratory pressure module for cross-flow membrane separation
• The method of utilization of the return fluid from the hydraulic fracturing process
• A new method to estimate the risk of membrane blockage
• Production of demineralized water for supplementing the water-vapor cycle with electro-membrane methods
• Removal of boron from aqueous solutions
• Desalination and concentration of saline solutions in integrated and hybrid membrane and membrane-crystallization systems

Team consists of the following people:
