Emerging water pollutants and innovative solutions
The Braeutigam group deals with new water pollutants (emerging pollutants, pharmaceutical residues, industrial chemicals) their real-time determination and development of innovative technical processes for efficient removal from water. Our research approach is thematically broad, often interdisciplinary, and includes basic knowledge-oriented research as well as applied research and development. Our approach implies a transfer to industrial scale based on basic research on laboratory scale, which is realized together with corresponding companies. We therefore also see our research as a bridge between basic academic research and a concrete application. Furthermore, for us interdisciplinarity is an opportunity and a necessity for a successful research activity in the fields of work.
