Valorization of alcoholic wastes to produce H2 to be used in the sustainable generation of electricity (ECOELECTRICITY LIFE)
Start date: Oct 3, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Background
New technologies play an essential role in helping to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Impure alcohol fractions with low commercial value are a waste product of bioethanol manufacturing. A new technology has been designed to reuse these waste fractions to produce gaseous hydrogen-rich streams for the productio ...

Demonstration of the recovery of critical metals such as indium and yttrium by recycling discarded flat panels (LIFE RECUMETAL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
Background
The amount of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) generated in Europe is about 13 million tonnes per year (13% of municipal waste). Studies predict this amount will increase by around 3-5% annually over the next decade. For example, approximately 150 000 tonnes of flat screens are collected annually in Europe, of which 120 000 are ...

Ecofriendly PROcessing System for the full exploitation of the OLIVE health potential in products of added value (EcoPROLIVE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The EcoPROLIVE project proposes an innovative processing for the full exploitation of high valuable constituents in the olive into novel products that are healthy and greener.The proposed process is very different from the current approaches of olive oil industrial production, and waste revalorization alternatives, as it follows a “zero waste” approach and all resulting products have commercial va ...

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 ...
