FOSTERING INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS FOR A SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE INTENSIVE INDUSTRY ACROSS THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTION VALUE CHAIN (FISSAC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
The overall objective of FISSAC project is to develop and demonstrate a new paradigm built on an innovative industrial symbiosis model towards a zero waste approach in the resource intensive industries of the construction value chain, tackling harmonized technological and non technological requirements, leading to material closed-loop processes and moving to a circular economy.A methodology and a ...

Design for Resource and Energy efficiency in cerAMic kilns (DREAM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
The DREAM project aims to design, develop and demonstrate a radically improved architecture for ceramic industrial furnaces, characterised by optimised energy consumption, reduced emissions, and lower operating costs compared to currently available technological solutions. This will be obtained by substantially enhancing specific furnace parts (control system, refractories, emissions abatement sys ...

Demonstration of natural coagulant use advantages in physical & chemical treatments in industry and urban waste water (LIFE ADNATUR)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Background
The industrial sectors of ceramics and textiles consume large quantities of water, generating significant amounts of contaminated wastewater. This wastewater has to be treated before being returned to the natural environment in order to avoid pollution of surface waters.
The most important treatments in the primary phase are coagulation and fl ...

Development of adaptive ProductioN systems for Eco-efficient firing processes (DAPhNE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
The overall scope of the DAPhNE project is to develop and demonstrate a package of integrated solutions for energy intensive processes (ceramics, cement and glass), based on tuning micro-wave technologies to the material characteristics and on intelligent control systems, to provide real time information about the energy consumption as well as the product quality.Microwave heating is now a well e ...

Smart release of biocides in finishing materials for the sector of construction (Axioma)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Bioresistancy of building and finishing materials usually requires addition of dedicated bioactive chemicals, so-called biocides. The usual increase in biocide concentration only results in a minor prolongation of the material service-life. For example, coatings usually exhibit biocidal functionality between 0.5 and 2 years – depending on environmental loads –, whereas the desired service life in ...

Development of a novel and cost-effective range of nanotech improved coatings to substantially improve NIR (Near Infrared Reflective) properties of the building envelope (COOL-Coverings)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
Recent work has shown the possibility to drastically increase the reflection performance of the building envelop, using nanotechnologies. Standard metal oxides are already known for their solar reflection properties, but latest developments identified that nanotechnologies can improve Index of Reflectance from an average of 0,35 to 0,85 because of their effectiveness on Near Infrared wavelengths, ...
