معرفی
Thomas Kronberg is a Researcher at Åbo Akademi University, affiliated with the Laboratory of Molecular Science and Engineering within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His work focuses on environmental remediation, materials science, and sustainable technology. Key projects include the utilization of industrial side streams for neutralizing acid-generating sulfide-rich sediments and stabilizing waste materials. He collaborates across disciplines, contributing to geochemical studies and ceramic material innovation.
Research interests emphasize harmful element leaching prevention, sulfide sediment management, and the development of sustainable building materials. His recent studies explore barium oxide effects on glaze properties and the environmental impact of ceramic waste recycling. Professional activities include presenting at conferences on topics like biochar production and sulfide-bearing clay stabilization.
Current involvement in the 'Happamien sulfaattimaiden hyödyntäminen' project (2024-2026) aims to leverage sulfide-rich sediments for sustainable resource utilization. His publications blend field applications (e.g., neutralization of acid-generating soils) with laboratory-based material characterization (e.g., crystal structure analysis of glazes).
