The DKG Technical Committee 6 (DKG FG 6) "Ceramics in Environmental Technology" serves as a platform for the exchange of information on topics such as ceramic filtration and membrane systems for water and wastewater treatment, ceramic catalyst supports, materials for exhaust gas treatment, ceramic adsorbents, as well as functional ceramics for environmental and energy technologies. Another key focus of DKG FG 6 is the characterization and lifetime assessment of these materials under real operating conditions, the development of new filter and membrane materials, and the integration of ceramic components into environmental technology processes.
Within DKG FG 6, scientific findings related to the development, production, and application of ceramic materials for environmental and energy applications are exchanged. Emphasis is placed on solutions in which ceramic materials contribute to resource conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable process design.
DKG FG 6 promotes the exchange between research institutions, industry, and plant engineering and supports the discussion of current developments in this field. Regular technical meetings, workshops and conference contributions are organized, where current research results, new materials, and innovative applications in environmental technology are presented and discussed.
