The course in mainly based on the processes of nanocatalysis and nanofiltration, and the application of these for the treatment of polluted waters and air. The course relies on handson laboratory exercises in nanomaterial synthesis, characterization and testing.
The course is organized as an intensive 2-week course, including 16 academic hours of lectures, 16 academic hours of seminars as well as 4 academic hours of laboratory work. Several laboratories for the characterization of nanomaterials will be used throughout the course.
