Research Areas
The Institute of Water Chemistry conducts research in the fields of water technology, water analysis, and aquatic chemistry. The core research areas are:
- Instrumental Analysis and Sensors
- Monitoring and Water Quality
- Green Chemistry & Benign-by-Design
- Selective separation and extraction technologies
-
Method development and adaptation in water analysis (focus: organic water constituents)
-
Studies on the occurrence and behavior of water constituents, assessment of the environmental behavior of pollutants, structure-property relationships
-
Sorption and biodegradation in the water/solid system (unsaturated zone, groundwater, sediments)
-
Investigation of processes involved in bank filtration
-
Process development and process modeling for drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment (focus areas: adsorption, oxidation, electrochemical processes)
