New equipment at our group!

Our group recently expanded by a commercial analytical device: Electrochemical Impedance Spectrometer provided by Novocontrol Technologies.

It is top-quality, versatile technique for investigating the electrical properties of a variety of different materials by observing the applied AC potential to an electrochemical cell.

Karel participated at the 5th International Conference on Membrane and Separation Processes & 10th Membrane Conference of Visegrad Countries – MEMSEP & PERMEA 2025

Karel gave a scientific speech at the 5th International Conference on Membrane and Separation Processes & 10th Membrane Conference of Visegrad Countries – MEMSEP & PERMEA 2025, which was hosted this year in Poland.

His talk with the title ,,Tailoring the O₂/N₂ separation performance of mixed matrix membranes via magnetic field.” was focused on briefly introducing the audience with our newest materials, which were developed in our group, aiming for an improved air separation via membranes.

Great news from the M3-S conference!

Daniel is on a roll!
A prestigious travel grant by NAWA was granted to Daniel, that made it possible for him to attend the M3-S conference and give a scientific presentation.
The conference was held in Toruń (Poland) and organized by the group of prof. Kujawski and the Polish Membrane Society.
For his talk, he got awarded by the Young Researcher Award provided by Clean Technologies Journal from it’s chief Editor Patricia Luis Alconero!
His presentation included results of the newly-estabilished cooperation between our group at UCT and the TVT group at FAU Erlangen in Germany!

Accelerating in international cooperations: FAU-UCT project entitled BTHA-AP-2025-22: “Novel precisely tunable 2D-membranes for targeted liquid separation via ultrafiltration”

We are pleased to announce that in cooperation with colleagues from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) in Erlangen, we will address the joint FAU-UCT project entitled BTHA-AP-2025-22: “Novel precisely tunable 2D-membranes for targeted liquid separation via ultrafiltration”, which has received the maximum possible funding of 5 thousand Euros from BTHA as part of the call for support of Czech-Bavarian academic projects in 2025 (https://www.btha.cz/cs/granty/akademicke-projekty).
The project is planned for the period from June to November 2025.

About Us

The membrane separation processes (MSPs) belong to modern technologically important separation methods. In comparison with conventional separation techniques, MSPs constitute a low-cost, less energy-consuming and environmentally friendly alternative.
