The Centre of Ecological Chemistry and Environment Protection

OBJECTIVES of the Centre

· Elaboration of new processes for obtaining and modifying mineral carbonic adsorbents and biologically active polyfunctional preparations;

· Study of the mechanisms of adsorption and oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants;

· Development of technologies for natural water treatment;

· Research and highlight of the chemical and physico-chemical processes in the aquatic environment;

· The study of the migration, accumulation and transformation processes of heavy metals, pesticides, polychlorbiphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants in environmental objects: natural and residual waters, soils, rocks, plants and agricultural products, etc;

· For recommendations regarding the diminution of the impact of pollution with toxic elements and compounds, on the quality of the environment, agricultural products and population health;

· Providing paid services for economic agents using the existing equipment;

·  Delivery of special courses for university, master and PhD students, for lecturers and scientists under the programme of refreshment courses.

·  Training of highly qualified scientific staff through PhD courses and postdoctoral education in the field of physical chemistry, ecological chemistry and environmental protection and the use of natural resources.

    The Centre Ecological Chemistry and Environmental Protection has the following modern equipments:  Autosorb-1, Atomic Adsorbtion Spectrophotometer  Shimadzu AA-7000,  Atomic Adsorbtion Spectrometers:  AAnalyst 800, AAS-3, Specol-211, chromatographs Agilent 6890 (mECD and FID detectors) and Agilent 6890 / 5973 GS-MS (mass detector), derivatograph, mechanical thermo analyzer,calorimeter with differential scanning.
