basic information
 

 



Research fields:

Synthesis of new, functional materials for catalytic and adsorption applications. Modification of natural and synthetic porous materials. Textural investigations of solids. Characteristics of the state and reactivity of model and real catalytic systems. Organic pollutants’ removal from gas and liquid phase via catalytic and sorption processes. New paths of organic raw materials conversion towards the optimization of existing large scale technologies (e.g. processes of oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes) as well as fine chemicals production (e.g. aldol condensation reactions).
