"Metal-Ion-Modified Calcium Silicate Hydrates as Functional Inorganic Materials for Adsorption and Catalysis"
- Specher*in: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tadas Dambrauskas (Department of Silicate Technology, Faculty of Chemical Technology, Kaunas University of Technology)
- Wann: 24.06.2026, 16:30 Uhr
- Wo: Seminarraum 2 (SR2), 1. Stock, Währinger Straße 42, 1090 Wien
- Host: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Freddy Kleitz
In this seminar, I will briefly introduce Kaunas University of Technology, the Faculty of Chemical Technology, its study programmes, and research activities carried out at the Department of Silicate Technology. The main focus will be on our work related to calcium silicate hydrates (CSH), their hydrothermal synthesis, structural characterization, and modification with transition metal ions. CSH are traditionally known as important cement-related phases; however, our research aims to expand their application towards functional materials for environmental technologies. I will present how metal-ion modification affects the formation, porosity, thermal stability, and surface properties of CSH-based materials, and how these materials can be applied in catalytic processes, especially VOC oxidation. The seminar will also highlight the broader research direction of transforming conventional silicate materials into multifunctional systems for adsorption, catalysis, sustainable binders, and circular economy applications.
