Synthesis and Environmental Chemistry

Waste materials, namely municipal household waste, Agri-waste, e-waste and wastes from food industry are considered a great renewable source. In many countries wastes are managed mostly by dumping ignoring the possibility to reuse, recycle and recover valuable items. The problem is more serious in Bangladesh because of the inappropriate processing techniques and lack of facilities. Some developed countries have already established methods that can transform these wastes into useful materials. Implementation of new methods and technologies adding values to their national economy, health, welfare, and environment. With this view, synthesis and environmental chemistry research domain has been working on engineering new materials, developing methods to synthesize sustainable fine materials as well as materials that can be used as environmental catalysts to alleviate pollution.

VISION

To explore and advance new chemical frontiers in the materials, and environmental chemistry through visionary research, innovation, and collaboration.

MISSION

The advent of new materials and technologies have revolutionized the outlook of the materialistic world. Both fossil and renewable resources have become competitive stakeholders from various perspectives. However, renewable alternatives are in the prime focus whether making new materials or synthesizing fine frontiers of the chemical world. Technological endeavors have begun to find better solutions by engineering sustainable materials even by incorporating virtual reality and AI technology vertically by the electrical and computer engineers. In our group, we are working on engineering new materials, developing methods to synthesizing sustainable new materials for the welfare of mankind targeting the goals of sustainable development (SDGs).
