IBCM Hosts Guest Lecture by Prof. Lidija Ćurković on Advanced Water Treatment Technologies
The Public International Business College Mitrovica was pleased to host Prof. Dr. Lidija Ćurković, Full Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb, for a guest lecture on “Heterogeneous TiO₂-Based Photocatalysis for the Degradation of Organic Micropollutants in Water.”
“Innovative technologies are essential for protecting the future of our water resources.”
Prof. Dr. Ćurković, whose research focuses on materials science, environmental engineering, and TiO₂-based photocatalytic technologies, delivered an insightful lecture addressing contemporary environmental challenges related to water pollution and wastewater treatment.
The session introduced students and academic staff to the concept of organic micropollutants in water, their environmental impact, and the growing need for innovative and sustainable treatment methods. Particular attention was given to heterogeneous photocatalysis and the mechanism of TiO₂ photocatalytic activity as an advanced approach for the degradation of harmful contaminants in aquatic environments.
Through scientific examples and interactive discussions, participants gained a deeper understanding of advanced water treatment technologies and the role of interdisciplinary research in developing sustainable environmental solutions.
Key Takeaways from the Lecture
- Understanding the impact of organic micropollutants in water systems
- Exploring TiO₂-based heterogeneous photocatalysis
- Learning about innovative wastewater treatment technologies
