L05 Laboratory for Environmental Sciences and Engineering
| |
|
In the Laboratory for Environmental Sciences and Engineering (L05) we conduct basic and applied research on national and international level in the following areas: environmental heterogeneous catalysis (wastewater treatment, energy production from biomass and waste solids), environmental process engineering, ecotoxicology, metrology in chemistry and biology. We conduct interlaboratory comparison for Slovenian and foreign laboratories that monitor wastewater and solid wastes. We advise domestic and foreign industrial partners and end-users on solving environmental problems, develop sustainable processes for wastewater and waste management, as well as conduct environmental impact assessment and other projects in the field of environmental protection.
Projects
- Research programme "Integrated approach to water pollution prevention" (P2-0150, ARRS)
- Center of Excellence "Low Carbon Technologies" (CO NOT)
- Competence Center "Sustainable and Innovative Civil Engineering" (KC TIGR)
- R&D Center "Energy" (RCE)
Achievements
- L05 is the holder of the standard in the scope of the national standard for the unit mol
- Patents and Patent Applications
Services
R&D services and long lasting industrial cooperation is based on advanced research equipment, long-term experiences and competitive prices. We perform synthesis of nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts based on modern preparation approaches and characterization of solid powdered materials using various instrumental techniques. We tender many types of analytical support in the fields of anaerobic digestion, waste maangement, wastewater treatment and ecotoxicology. We also advise in the field of Metrology in Chemistry.
