📢PhD dissertation by Bianca Zappulla "From ageing analysis to second life: a sustainable approach to osmosis membrane recycling"

📆Friday 12th December, 10:00h, Facultat de Ciències de la @univgirona.bsky.social
Directed by Drs Gaetan blandin, Hèctor Monclús and Ignasi Rodriguez-Roda Layret of LEQUIA research group, this doctoral thesis addresses an environmental challenge posed by the steady rise of desalination worldwide: the circular management of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes 🌎 💦 The researcher studied main constraints during the operation of RO membranes (drying, industrial use, chemical exposure) to better understand their impact on membrane performance and evaluate whether these factors pose limitations for membrane recycling .This approach was also extended to forward osmosis (FO) membranes. Then, alternative oxidative chemical treatment with ozone for membrane recycling and transformation was evaluated and pilot-scale tests to validate the reuse potential of transformed membranes were performed. ♻️ ♻️

Als laboratoris del LEQUIA ja tenim a punt la planta pilot del projecte #DEPURHOB per investigar la valorització de residus gasosos i líquids de dejeccions ramaderes amb bacteris oxidants d’hidrogen

#valorització, #recerca, #economiacircular #TECNIO, @agriculturacat, #DemosPATT

@sebastia_puig
Aquesta planta, acoblada amb la del Centre BETA_UVIC de bacteris fototròfics porpres, s'instal·larà en una propera fase en una granja per continuar optimitzant i validant el procés. Tot plegat, amb l’objectiu de continuar implantant solucions d’economia circular al sector ramader i reduir la dependència dels recursos fòssils per obtenir fertilitzants.

@albacabrera.bsky.social has been appointed as Lecturer at the Department of Chemical, Agricultural and Agro-Food Engineering of @univgirona.bsky.social

Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Alba Cabrera studied a degree in Environmental Sciences, and a Master’s in Water Science and Technology at the University of Girona. In 2016 she completed a doctoral thesis on the removal of siloxanes from biogas through adsorption processes, a topic on which she has published numerous articles and given presentations at international conferences. After her doctorate, the researcher was awarded with several prestigious post-doctoral grants (Juan de la Cierva, MSCA-Cofund TecnioSpring) and developed part of her activity abroad; specifically, in the United States and Italy. Currently, Dr. Cabrera is researching the application of adsorption and oxidation processes to the treatment of both liquid and gaseous effluents. Thus, she works on projects within the energy (biogas) and water (potable water treatment and regeneration of purified water) fields. She works in multidisciplinary research teams that apply chemical engineering, analytical chemistry and mathematical modeling. The researcher also stands out for her transfer activity, developed within the framework of several contracts with companies and entities in the water sector.
