Research and students

Projects

• currently several projects dealing with mobility of metals/metalloids in the environment are in progress (waste behaviour and contamination of soils in the subsaharan Africa, isotopic tracing in soils polluted by smelting activities, characterization of sorbent for chemical stabilization of soils...)
