STNF introduces new separation processes to recover clean water from wastewater
The STNF project developed promosing membranes for challenging industrial water/solvent separations, indicating that the STNF membranes can be a real alternative to classical energy-intensive water treatment technologies.
Solvent Tolerant Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis membranes for the purification of industrial aqueous streams
To overcome that the presence of solvents in water streams lowers membrane performance hindering their implementation in industry, new solvent tolerant polymer-grafted ceramic nanofiltration membranes were synthesised and tested.
Renewable Building Blocks from Complex and wet waste Streams (ReBBloCS)
The ReBBloCS project aims to develop new circular value chains for the valorisation of complex and mixed waste streams into valuable chemical products.
