About me

Latif got his PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), followed by a postdoctoral research fellowship at Peking University's College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME). In general, his research interests center around finding long-term solutions to environmental issues. More specifically, he works with functional porous materials for sorption (gas-solid/liquid-solid) and heterogeneous catalysis.

Here at MMK, Latif is involved in the reserach project aimed at the addressing the eutrophication problem in the Baltic Sea. He is applying cheap adsorbents, prepared at industrial scale, to lower the phosphate content in sea water. Already the project has shown potential to go a long way in solving the issue of eutrophication in sea water, and we at Stockholm University are optimistic that the dream of a revitalized Baltic Sea will be fulfilled in the not-too-distant future.

Activated limestone to reduce the eutrophication in the Baltic Sea

In close collaboration with various actors, we study how activated limestone can be used to reduce the phosphorus concentration in the Baltic Sea. The project involves large-scale synthesis of adsorbents as well as studies in the field in Kyrkviken in Östergötland.
