Research
involves innovative solutions to environmental
problems. The in-depth understanding of environmental
processes requires an interdisciplinary approach, which
includes background in the biological, chemical and physical
sciences as well as in legal and social issues. Projects
include: hazardous waste management; incinerator ash
management; chemical and biochemical processes in soil
groundwater systems; in-situ remediation processes; aerobic
and anaerobic biodegradation processes; advanced
environmental analytical techniques; metal recovery from
incinerator ash; multiphase partitioning in environmental
systems; source reduction and waste minimization; safety
and health management; emulsion liquid membrane
separations in wastewater purification; transport and kinetics
of pollutants in the air; and biochemodynamics.
