Have you ever seen wastewater from a factory? This usually looks very clean, thanks to wastewater treatment. Yet it may still contain many traces of drugs, pesticides, or cleaning agents. These so-called microcontaminants end up in rivers and cause damage to the environment. In the lab, Sara Feijoo Moreira and her colleagues at KU Leuven developed a method that uses ...

University of Patras researchers have developed an integrated reactor which could photoelectrocatalytically generate hydrogen peroxide under solar radiation and simultaneously degrade a recalcitrant pollutant by the UV/H2O2 process. This work, which was published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental journal, was performed in the framework of the H2020 MSCA-ETN InnovEOX project. Main author: InnovEOX researcher Rebecca Dhawle. The purpose of this ...

UCL study: Biohydrogen: A life cycle assessment and comparison with alternative low-carbon production routes in UK. Main author: InnovEOX researcher Gema Amaya-SANTOS. This study focuses on the production of hydrogen from municipal solid waste(MSW) for applications in transportation. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted on a semi-commercial advanced gasification process for Biohydrogen(Bio-H2) production from MSW to evaluate its environmental ...
