PROPOSING A NEW COST-EFFICIENT MINERAL PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY TO RECOVER BY-PRODUCTS FROM PRIMARY SOURCES

The new Horizon 2020-funded project, ION4RAW (ionometallurgy of primary sources for an enhanced raw materials recovery) will run for four years and involves thirteen partners from six countries across Europe as well as the United Kingdom and Peru. Coordinated by IDENER, it gathers SMEs, research and technical organisations and innovation actors. ION4RAW will develop a…

AFTERLIFE, EUROPEAN PROJECT FOR THE CONVERSION OF WASTEWATER INTO NATURAL ADDITIVES

The AFTERLIFE project proposes a flexible, cost & resource-efficient process, following the principles of zero waste and circular economy for the recovery and valorisation of wastewater three water-intensive food industries, processing citrus (Citromil SL), cheeses (Heritage 1466) and candies (Jake SA) to obtain pure compounds of interest with high added value. This is a European…

AFTERLIFE, first advances within the EU project focused on the recovery and conversion of wastewaters from food-sector industries

The first technical advances of the Afterlife project were presented in the annual meeting held in Helsinki, Finland, on October 25th and 26th. Among these advances, of special relevance is the reduction of up to 70% the content in fatty compounds in the wastewater stream from cheese-manufacturing company Heritage 1466 (also partner of the project),…

INFINITY, INDIUM-FREE CONDUCTIVE MIXED NANO-OXIDES

The INFINITY project is about to conclude having achieved very promising results in the substitution of a critical material like Indium. In summary, Lurederra did different flame spray pyrolysis produced Si doped ZnO (SZO) and Nb doped TiO2 (SZO) nanoparticles at laboratory scale, transferring the required knowledge to the company Tecnan so that they could…

INNOVIP, REINVENTING THE VACUUM INSULATED PANELS

The INNOVIP project,which started in October 2016, will reinvent the top-of-the line insulating material vaccum-insulation-panels (VIP) by improving their termal performance over the entire lifetime by at least 25% and making VIPs adjustable, mountable and machineable. One of the most innovative points of this project is the attachment of different cover layers with different functionalities…
