The LiSa project is developing a smart and energy-efficient method for refining and recycling lithium.
Separations for Circularity Roadmap
The roadmap brings together partner strategies into a shared innovation agenda for a circular and CO₂-neutral chemical industry.
Recovering Critical Minerals from Wastewater Using PFAS-free Membranes
Electronics and green technologies rely on scarce metals. As demand rises, we need new, sustainable sources. What if the solution is already flowing past us: in seawater and industrial wastewater?
PolarASol – Polar Aqueous Solvents recycling
PolarASol develops a practical decision framework to help industry recycle polar solvents efficiently, even in the most complex aqueous streams.
