Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Environmental Protection
The Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Environmental Protection provides education in the bachelor, master and doctoral study programs of the same name. Fields can be defined as environmental engineering, based on thorough knowledge of analytical chemistry and chemical technologies, supported by knowledge of other disciplines such as ecotoxicology, applied biology and organic chemistry.
At the basic research level, the Institute focuses on the development of methods for wastewater analysis with special focus on the detection of pharmaceutical, hormone, fragrance and artificial sweetener residues, the development of methods for analysis of soil organic matter dynamics and its quality and analysis of microplastics in soils, development of pre-concentration techniques for analysis of platinum metals and synthesis of a wide range of biologically and optically active organic compounds.
At the technological level, the field is focused primarily on water treatment technology, soil fund and air protection, general and special industrial toxicology and ecotoxicology, technological processes of municipal waste disposal, plastic biodegradation, preparation of environmentally applicable materials and monitoring and optimization of processes in photovoltaic and thermal systems.
The scientific and research orientation of the Institute determines the teaching within the field of Chemistry and Technology of Environmental Protection, from which students choose the possibilities of their own specialization. During the study they are educated on how to analyse individual pollutants and propose measures to protect the basic components of the environment, i.e. air, water, soil and biota. Vocational subject deals with the issue of transformation of toxic substances in the individual components of the environment, decontamination and remediation technology, disposal of old contaminants and technology of waste treatment.
Students are also acquainted with analysis and evaluation of risks including prevention and liquidation of chemical accidents. They are able to apply their knowledges within the framework of chemical and nuclear safety, which is also related to the issue of nuclear chemistry and ionizing radiation. In accordance with the legislation in force they manage to carry out environmental impact studies (EIA), have an overview of quality systems and ISO standards.
Studying enables students to acquire the necessary knowledges and practical experiences, which they can subsequently use in the labour market after graduation. Thanks to this, graduates are able to work as managers, engineers and technologists in all areas of the chemical and biotechnology industry, especially water management, waste water treatment plants, air and soil protection technology, etc.
