Ion exchange, adsorption and chromatographic separation 


Synthetic polymeric resins can be used for gas and liquid adsorption as well as for chromatographic separation.
These technologies are generally applied to water treatment and in various separ-ation processes, e.g., in food industry, pharmaceutical industry and hydro-metallurgy.

The main research topics are related to the development of new applications and new separation materials.

Modelling and simulation of adsorption, industrial chromatography and chromatographic reactors are used as research tools.
