OBJECTIVES Development of novel materials in order to:
- Improve current water treatment processes - Recover valuable resources from wastewater Design new environmentally friendly cleaner processes Efluent minimisation processes
Expertise in a variety of industrial sectors, such as food industry, metal and surface treatment industry, glass industry, pulp and paper industry, lead tanning industry, etc.
TARGET POLLUTANTSOrganic pollutans
Salts & nutrients
Metals
Acids/bases
Membrane processes Microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis Different technologies for membrane functionalization (hydrophilicity, antifouling...)
Graphene-based solutions Increase photocatalytic activity in coatings Graphene-metal oxides to improve desalination performance of capacitive deionization electrodes
Electromembrane technologies (ED, EED) Production of organic and inorganic acids and bases from their salts Separation of neutral and ionic molecules Separation of monovalent and multivalent ions Concentration of acids, bases and salts
CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES
Advanced Oxidation Processes Photocatalysis: synthesis of new photocatalytic coatings Classical oxidations, oxidations by fenton, electrolytic oxidation destruction, etc.
Ionic liquids (IL) Highly adaptable to have selective functional groups ILs can be impregnated in a variety of porous materials for water purication
Adsorption of dissolved pollutants at trace levels Synthesis of functionalized adsorbents Taylor made solutions to selectively extract pollutants dissolved in water Dierent conguration of the adsorbents: polymeric beads, membranes, etc.
