EFCE Spotlight Talks November 2024
During the EFCE Spotlight Talks, several specialists will share their insights on actual and highly relevant topics for our energy, material and food transitions.
Odysseus
Goal of this project is to develop a library of complementary techniques for concentrating brines beyond reverse osmosis.
Recircanol: Circular recovery of ethanol from alkaline-ethanol media at high pH using membrane technology
This project develops nanofiltration membranes and membrane modules for alkaline-alcohol media at high pH for the purification of ethanol and caustic.
CALMEM – Ceramic atomic layer deposited Nanofiltration membranes for separation of challenging industrial streams
Calmem concerns nano manufactured ceramic membranes that can supersede distillation columns for energy saving in the Netherlands.
ReSolve – Re-use of industrial solvent process streams
Ceramic organic solvent nanofiltration membranes with small pore sizes and high throughputs, as compared to polymeric membranes, will be developed by a novel technology.
Completed
Amazing – Additive Manufacturing for Zero-Emission Innovative Green Chemistry
Amazing is about replacing large-scale high-temperature cracking processes with electrically driven thermocatalytic dehydrogenation.
Sussic – Sustainable treatment of industrial streams
In the Sussic project, atomic layer deposition (ALD) will be used for the development of SiC NF membranes, allowing treatment of challenging industrial streams.
Completed
Nanofiltration (EAMS) – Hybrid membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration
Nanofiltration (EAMS) is a project that focusses on finding practical and economical viable membrane materials to be commercially applied.
Completed
STNF – Solvent Tolerant Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes for the purification of industrial aqueous streams
Many industrial process streams contain water with solvents and other organic components. Such streams need to be purified from these components or need to be treated before further handling. Polymeric...
COSMOS – Organic solvent nanofiltration membranes on low cost ceramic supports
The COSMOS-project found that membrane technology has the potential to replace or supplement current inefficient distillation processes.
Separations for Circularity
Seperations for Circularity aims to accelerate innovative technologies for the separation and treatment of fluids.
