Kerstin Forsberg

Kerstin Forsberg är professor i kemiteknik med expertis inom separationsprocesser, i synnerhet kristallisation. Hon undervisar på grund- och avancerad och forskarnivå i dessa ämnen (se kurser nedan). Kunskapen tillämpas även inom forskningsprojekt (se högermeny) vilka främst omfattar utvinning av resurser från avfallsströmmar (t ex förbrukade batterier, betbadssyror och rödslam) eller undersökning av fenomen kopplat till transport av föroreningar (t ex tungmetaller, radionuklider och mikroplaster).

My primary research interest is:

• Crystallization and precipitation techniques and approaches.
