Abstract:

For the past century, the environment suffers from rapid deterioration due to the explosive development of chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Large quantities of drugs, personal care products, detergents, pesticides, food additives have been released in the aquatic system. The pollutants of emerging concern are not yet monitored and well regulated by authorities while there is an increased awareness of their impact on human health. The United Nations World Water Development Report 2018 states that “An estimated 80% of all industrial and municipal wastewater is released to the environment without any prior treatment, resulting in a growing deterioration of overall water quality with detrimental impacts on human health and ecosystems”. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) based on photocatalysis are the most powerful and viable alternative to the conventional wastewater treatment technologies that still have some limitations (e.g., high operation costs, energy consumption, or reduce efficiency due to the chemical stability of pollutants and/or the complexity of their degradation). Thus, the development of solar-driven catalysts with improved photocatalytic activity for the environment-friendly and facile treatment of aquatic systems remains an important target to environment remediation.

Abstract:

The purpose of the project is to expand the activity for exploring of waste recovery containing noble metals from the platinum group, by transferring and implementing their recovery technology from car catalysts or ceramic catalysts from the automotive, chemical, petrochemical industries, etc., on an existing of noble metal recovery technological line.

The main objective is to expand the recovery capacity of the noble metals in the platinum group from different catalysts in the automotive industry.

In order to achieve the proposed purpose, the following secondary objectives will be considered:

O1. Optimization of laboratory chemical technology

O2. Adaptation and transfer of laboratory technology to an existing technology line

O3. Optimization of the purification of the obtained noble metals

Abstract:

Developing integrated functionalization eco nano technologies using physical techniques (gamma irradiation, plasma activation, electrodeposition) and nanocomposites with antibacterial, antistatic or hydrophobization properties will produce textile and leather materials with multifunctional advanced properties. Replacing and reducing volatile organic compounds that negatively impact the environment will set the premises of transferring advanced technologies to companies manufacturing medical articles, protection equipment, sports equipment or for other applications and creating thus new research services by PHYSforTeL consortium partners to the benefit of the traditional industrial sector of textile and leather industry.
