About me
Kerstin Forsberg is professor in chemical engineering with expertise in separation processes, in particular crystallization. The knowledge is often applied in projects concerning recovery of resources from waste streams (e.g. spent batteries, pickling acid, red mud) or to investigate phenomena connected to the transport of pollutants (e.g. heavy metals, radionuclides and microplastics).
My primary research interest is:
- Crystallization and precipitation techniques and approaches.
Commissions of trust
- Editor, Sustainable Materials and Technologies, SM&T, 2023.12 – 2026.12
- Associate editor, Waste Management, WM, 2025.7 – 2026.12
