Modelling properties, interactions, toxicity and environmental behaviour of engineered nanoparticles (NANOPUZZLES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Nanotechnology is rapidly expanding. However, some types of engineered nanoparticles can be toxic for living organisms and exhibit negative impact on the environment. Thus, the design of new nanomaterials must be supported by a rigorous risk analysis. Following the recommendations by the EU REACH system and regarding ethical aspects, the risk assessment procedures should be performed with possibl ...

Advanced Microwave Plasma Gasification of pig and cow manure for cost-effective biogas generation (PLAGASMIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"The livestock sector in Europe is facing a problem: The manure it generates cannot all be used as fertiliser because excessive amounts of manure to land can lead to surface and ground water contamination through the accumulation of minerals in the soil, as manure contains high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. The EU has legislated to place severe restrictions on the quantity of organic manure ...
