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 ...

A pilot line of antibacterial and antifungal medical textiles based on a sonochemical process (SONO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
Hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections are a major financial issue in the European healthcare system. The financial impact of these infections counteract medical advances and expensive medical treatments by increasing the length of hospital stay by at least 8 days on average per affected patient, hence adding more than 10 millions patient days in hospitals in Europe per year. The statistics on ...

Water Purification Tertiary Treatment using Photo-oxidation at semi-industrial scale (FOTOTEX) (FOTOTEX)
Start date: Aug 1, 2003, End date: Aug 1, 2005,
Background
The textile sector has high levels of water consumption and generates significant pollution. Much progress has been made in water treatment. However, the organic compounds in wastewater generated by dyeing are barely treated by conventional wastewater systems. Existing research on photo oxidation treatment suggests that application to textile o ...
