The pollution of aquatic environments by pharmaceuticals and other micropollutants represents a growing ecological problem that conventional wastewater treatment plants often cannot adequately address. A promising, low-cost, and sustainable alternative for tertiary polishing is adsorption using biochar. Although this carbonaceous material is highly…
The Research Group of Algal and Microbial Biotechnology has long been dedicated not only to the potential applications of microscopic algae in environmental and food technologies but also to the study and engineering description of fundamental biophysical and biochemical processes crucial for efficient microalgal growth. Particular attention is pai…
Heat and mass transfer from a flowing fluid to a wall is one of the fundamental problems of transport phenomena, whose precise mathematical description is considerably challenging due to the complexity of physical processes in the boundary layer. An exact theoretical understanding of these phenomena represents a powerful tool for addressing specifi…
The removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) from industrial flue gases is a key challenge in environmental protection and in the development of modern separation technologies. The effective capture of these gases is closely linked to the design of innovative materials and to a detailed understanding of their sorption properties fo…
How can chemistry imitate biological systems? Nature widely uses biopolymers as both construction and functional materials, producing precisely defined nanostructures. Synthetic chemists strive to achieve a similar degree of organization by using sequential synthesis, but with increasing molecular size, it is ever more difficult to keep control ove…
A team of authors from the Research Group of Advanced Materials and Organic Synthesis published a new method for the synthesis of previously undescribed phosphorus-heterocyclic compounds in The Journal of Organic Chemistry. The developed procedure enables the efficient preparation of so-called quinolizidine 1,4-azaphosphinines – structurally uniq…
