The PARTIAL PGMs project has recently been successfully accomplished, achieving the development of a three-way catalyst for automobiles with a minimum percentage of platinum group metals. The developed catalyst was compared with a common commercial catalyst, under real gasoline engine conditions, obtaining similar results in terms of oxidation-reduction of the polluting gases among them, but…
ION4RAW project has organised the second face-to-face meeting after 6 months of work. In this case, the host has been LGI Consulting and the meeting took place in Paris. The evolution of these initial phase of the project has been remarkable in all the aspects of the project, including, the extraction of raw materials from…
Last October, the meeting corresponding to month 30 of the INNOVIP project took place in Warsaw, specifically in the offices of MOSTOSTAL WARSZAWA S.A., where, in addition to visiting on-site the facilities of the first demonstration of the project, the last details were addressed. In this way, and keeping in mind the completion date established…
The ZEOCAT-3D project, funded by the Horizon 2020 European programme, and under the topic “Catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons” began in April 2019 and involves fifteen European partners from six different countries, where IDENER (Seville), is the coordinator. Regarding the role of LUREDERRA within the project, it is in charge of the synthesis of key complex…
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…
After 3 years of the European project PARTIAL-PGMs, in which new catalysts have been developed, the research is its final stage and the development is focused in testing at prototype level. The meeting corresponding to the 3rd year of the project took place in March in Spain. Concretely, in the facilities of Lurederra Technology Centre,…
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…
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),…
The preparation of an initial list of catalytic nanomaterials selected for upscaling has been one of the key results in the early stages of the PARTIAL PGMs European Project. The selected catalytic nanomaterials include very specific compositions of complex and doped oxides to be produced by Lurederra, using the exclusive Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) technology…
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…
