FIELDS OF SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTIONS

 

     K.J.Haralambous is an Associate Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department with interest in Materials Chemistry as well as Environmental Chemistry.

 

Her scientific interests are directed towards the polution of the natural environment and specifically on chemical processes and analysis of metals in various environmental systems. She has also been involved in research on the production, indentification and determination of metal oxides properties, in particularly on ferrites of the lanthanides, as well as with problems associated with the corrosion and protection of metals.

 

More specifically, her research and development activities are related with the following topics (i) the determination of the pollution level and the assessment of the environmental impacts resulting from the presence of heavy metals and other pollutants in natural recipients.

 (ii) the treatment of solid waste and industrial sludges containing heavy metals (e.g. stabilisation of heavy metals incorporated in sludges, thermal treatment of solid waste and sludges aiming primarly on the inactivation of the metal load etc) (iii) the treatment and the sustainable disposal of industrial wastewater and sludges, (iv) the remediation of marine sediments, sludges originating from  biological treatments processes,
