PD Dr. Gerd Gleixner 2. Prof. Klaus Heide Tag der öffentlichen Verteidigung 09.11.2005 Ich sah manche Wahrheit siegen, aber stets durch die wohlwollende Unterstützung von hundert Irrtümern <> Acknowledgement Great gratitude goes out to my supervisor Gerd Gleixner. He provided an exciting topic, shared always his great knowledge with me and enriched my theses with several creative ideas. Several fruitful and extensive discussions helped me finding the scientific way through acid mine drainages and municipal waste waters. Prof. Dr. K. Heide deserves thank for his co-operation, for helpful conversations and for the time he sacrificed for an external PhD-student. I am especially indebted to Dirk Merten and Jörn Geletneky. Jörn provided a lot of fundamental data and knowledge for my study.
