New demonstrative pilot plant for the purification waste water with oils, fats and hydrocarbons (LIFE-PURIWAT)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Background
Oil, fats or hydrocarbons commonly comprise around 2% of wastewater content. These organic compounds can present a challenge for traditional wastewater treatment systems due to the toxicity of the sludge by-products that remain after treatments. In Spain, according to data from the national registry of sludges, around 1.2 million tonnes (dry ma ...

Design and development of a demonstrative recycling line for the separation of post-consumer polyolefin mixtures (REC-POLYOLEFIN)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Background
The polymerisation of olefins/alkenes is an efficient and low-cost reaction that yields polymers of high industrial value, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. These polyolefins have a variety of uses, such as the manufacture of plastic film, plastic bags, heat-shrink electrical insulation sleeves, and tennis racket strings. Polyolefins are ...

Design and development of a demonstrative pilot plant for the recycling of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) (RECYCLED-PVB)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
Background
Every year in Europe about 480 000 tonnes of laminated glass waste results from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Laminated glass is about 3% of the total material of a vehicle. Currently, most of this glass is incinerated or buried and only a fraction is recycled. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a resin used for applications that require strong binding, ...
