      Ein Forschungsschwerpunkt unserer Arbeitsgruppe ist die Modellierung und Behandlung von wässrigen Elektrolytsystemen. In einem Kooperationsprojekt mit der städtischen Kläranlage Straubing untersuchen wir neue, nicht-biologische Verfahren zur Absenkung der Nitratrestbelastung im Ablauf. Dabei sollen innovative thermische und elektrochemische Ansätze entwickelt werden, welche vorhandene Nebenproduktströme aus einem anhängigen Chemiebetrieb nutzen. Es handelt sich um ein neu startendes Verbundvorhaben mit einem spannenden Team aus fünf Forschungsgruppen. Sie arbeiten in einem Forschungsfeld, das hochgradig innovativ ist, wichtige Beiträge zu einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft liefert und Ihnen wichtige Kernkompetenzen für zukünftige Betätigung als Forschungsingenieur (m/w/d) vermittelt.
