Autorenporträt
Prof. Dr. Martin Bertau (*1968)

Prof. Dr. Martin Bertau, Chair of Chemical Technology at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology received his PhD in 1997 at the University of Freiburg/Br. He then headed the biotechnology division of Rohner Ltd. (Dynamit-Nobel group) in Basle, Switzerland. In the year 2000 he changed to Dresden University of Technology where he received his venia legendi as well as facultas docendi both for biochemistry and organic chemistry in 2005. Since 2006 he heads the Institute of Chemical Technology at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. His key areas of activity comprise resource chemistry and white biotechnology with the aim of developing integrated processes (zero-waste concept) for producing and recycling of chemistry raw materials like strategic metals (rare earth metals, lithium, indium and others) and silicon, but also utilising CO2 as well as lignocellulose for the production of base chemicals. For his work on the first industrial process for phosphate recycling he in 2012 was awarded the resource efficiency price of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

Prof. Dr. Dr. Heribert Offermanns (*1937)

Heribert Offermanns studied Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen and got his Diploma in 1963 and his Doktor degree at the Institute of Chemical Technology and Petrochemistry of the RWTH Aachen (Prof. Dr. Friedrich Asinger) in1966.
