Dr András József Tóth's research areas are the treatment of chemical industry waste, separation processes, mainly membrane operations and distillation. In the latter areas, he has performed laboratory experiments, modelled in chemical process simulators, and designed industrial systems. His current research focus is on environmentally benign process design, and more specifically on Life Cycle Assessment of chemical processes.
