1.Solid fuels and agricultural by-products:
• Study of chemical composition and reactivity;
• On the compositions of the “volatile organic compounds” (VOCs) in the emissions of lignite combustion in the thermal power plants and in other wastes from energy production, i.e. slag, fly ashes, etc. Assessment of the effect of electron beam treatment on the flue gases desulphurization and decrease in the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contents;
• Sulphur and organic sulphur compounds study and fossil desulphurization;
• Depiction of relationships between coal precursor vegetations and products of their diagenetic transformations in Bulgarian Neogene coals and other geological sediments;
• Carbonization. Creation of methods for conversion of biomass and coals to high efficient carbon adsorbents, liquid products and energy gas;
• Removal of different pollutants from water and air by carbon adsorbents.
2.Carbon materials.
• Physical and chemical characterization of precursors;
• Preparation of precursors for producing of carbon fibers, carbon foams and C/C composites;
• Study of factors, which influence the interaction between binder and fillers in carbon/carbon composites;
• Preparation and applications of porous carbon (synthetic carbon adsorbents and carbon foam) based on biomass and coal treatment products.
