Abstract

This text reviews the possibilities to apply microcalorimetry and thermo-analytical methods of analysis in the fields related to the environment pollution. At the beginning, short overview of chemical species that can be found as common pollutants in the atmosphere, waters and soils is given. Further, it is shown how the mentioned techniques can be applied for direct investigation of some event that includes specific pollutants. The possibilities to use calorimetry and thermo-analytical methods for the characterization of substances used either as adsorbents or catalysts in the processes of pollutants’ abatement are presented. Besides, it is shown how all mentioned methods can provide data useful in the removal of certain pollutant. The importance of microcalorimetry and thermo-analytical methods in environment protection is underlined.
