Chemistry - Chemistry for Environmental Engineering South Ural State University

Overview

The Chemistry - Chemistry for Environmental Engineering program at South Ural State University using the modern chemistry advances for environmental protection (in petrochemistry, metallurgy and pharmaceutics).

Key facts

• existing high-tech methods of environmental protection, energy- and resources-saving technology, based on the modern chemistry advances: the use of nanostructured (photo)catalysts for destruction of organic pollutants that are resistant to oxidation, the electrochemical methods of emission and decomposition of pollutants, the modern photovoltaic systems for solar energy conversion;
•  methods of production and investigation of ultradispersed and nanostructured materials for environmental protection;
•  methods of evaluating environmental conditions, of analysis for the most dangerous toxicants, of physicochemical environmental study, and of planning engineering activities to decrease environmental pollution;
• new progress in synthetic chemistry, development of green chemistry as a new research area.
• During the studies the scientific research work is mandatory for master's degree.
• Synthesis and application of heterogeneous (photo)catalysts for environment protection processes.
• Study of environmental pollutants with the view of their recycling and deactivation.
• Modern photovoltaic materials for energy-saving technology.
• New microporous materials for electrochemical decomposition of pollutants in water.
