פרופ' אריאלה בורג
I obtained my Masters and PhD degrees under the supervision of Prof. Dan Meyerstein and Prof. Haim Cohen in the Department of Chemistry at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. In my current role as a researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department of Sami Shamoon College of Engineering (SCE), collaboration is an integral part of my academic career. As such, I cooperate with a wide variety of researchers from my department, from other departments at SCE, industry, the Negev Nuclear Research Center and from BGU. I advise and mentor students from across the academic spectrum, including BSc students preparing their final projects in the fourth year of chemical engineering studies as well as graduate and doctoral students
I am interesting in five main subjects which are a major part of my study: Development of novel sol-gel based methods for the recycling of heavy metal ions and radioactive waste; Sol-gel matrices as ion and electron exchange columns and as redox catalysts; Development a method for printing nano particles as catalysts and electro catalysts; Study the mechanism of Fenton and Fenton like reaction in heterogeneous systems; Water oxidation for alternative energy
