WASTE AND ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TEP184

Description

The research activity of the group is centred on the use of lignocellulosic waste and lignin kraft. There is also a line of work within the area of carbons technology, where are investigated applications of active carbons as catalysts in chemical or environmental processes.

Research Topics

Thermochemical use of lignocellulosic waste.
Preparation and characterisation of active carbons and molecular sieves.
Preparation and characterisation of catalysts.
Reduction and/or elimination of polluting compounds from liquid or gaseous effluents.

Scientific-Technical Services

Use of lignocellulosic waste for obtaining vegetable carbon and active carbon.
Obtaining active carbon from the waste of rubber tyre pyrolysis.
Development of inorganic materials in the areas of catalysis, the environment and energy.
� Elimination of gaseous pollutants (nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds) and liquids.
