Tandem Electrocatalytic Reactor for energy/Resource efficiency And process intensification (TERRA)

Start date: Sep 15, 2015, End date: Sep 14, 2019,

"TERRA project aims to develop, from TRL 3 to 5, a tandem electrocatalytic reactor (TER) coupling an oxidation reaction to a reduction reaction, with thus the great potential advantage of i) saving resources and energy (needed to produce the oxidant and reductants for the two separate reactions), and ii) intensify the process (reduce the nr. of steps, coupling two synthesis processes and especiall ...

Electrochemical Oxidation in the Recirculating Aquaculture Systems Industry (ELOXIRAS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

...rt-up periods, then can be also used on logistics operations to guarantee best fish transport conditions and efficiencies. ELOXIRAS will be upgraded by APRIA supported by key technology partners as MAGNETO SPECIAL ANODES (reactor specialist) and 2 RAS end-users: RODECAN and TIMAMENOR (industrial validation tests). This approach will allow APRIA to commit on achieving a RAS EU market share of 7% fo ...

Bio-electrochemically-assisted recovery of valuable resources from urine (ValueFromUrine)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

The bio-electrochemically-assisted recovery of valuable resources from urine (ValueFromUrine) project will develop, optimize and evaluate an innovative bio-electrochemical system that allows for the recovery of phosphorus (P), ammonia (NH3) and electricity (E) or hydrogen from urine. The innovative principle is that biological oxidation of organics (present in urine) at a bio-anode drives both the ...

Bioelectrochemical systems for metal recovery (BIOELECTROMET)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Global primary metal resources are rapidly dwindling and the mining and metallurgical industries are increasingly turning to lower grade minerals for metal extraction, typically increasing costs. Innovative environmental metal extraction techniques are required to increase mining sustainability, increase revenues and lower its impact on the environment. In this project, bioelectrochemical technolo ...

Integrated water treatment in a one-stage oxidative-adsorptive process to degrade and remove harmful substances (OxFloc)

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

Current costs for industrial wastewater treatment in Europe are already an economic burden and are expected to rise. With 4.5 billion Euros spent each year this is restricting the growth of the European production sector, especially in water scarce areas where there is a pressing need to reuse water. OxFloc aims to reduce treatment costs by at least 30% while offering modular installation and appl ...

A novel energy efficient electrodialysis cell to recycle Acids and Bases from industrial process water based on new types of electrodes to enable internal energy recovery (NOVEED)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Within NovEED we will investigate, develop and demonstrate a novel electrocatalytic process based on electrodialysis for the efficient recovery of acids and bases from salt solutions normally discharged at cost. This process is demanded by industrial users of acids and bases, e.g. galvanic industry, metal plating and mining industries, who will be able to regenerate their neutralized solutions to ...

Enhanced protein fractionation from protein sources for their use in special food applications (WHEY2FOOD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Whey is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and is considered a promising raw material for various commercial applications due to its high-value components (e.g. proteins) and its large availability. Around 81 million tons of liquid whey was produced by the approximately 150,000 European cheesemakers in EU-27 in 2011. However, according to the European Whey Products Association (EW ...

Combined anode and cathode process to treat landfill leachate (CleanLeachate)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Waste disposed of in landfill sites degrades over time and produces a liquid waste stream called landfill leachate. The volume of leachate produced is increased by rainfall. It cannot be directly discharged to water courses as it contains many hazardous pollutants and therefore must be retained for treatment. This proposal contains details of the approach we will take to develop an automated, modu ...
