UAB's researchers have found a bacterium that can help to clean up contaminated waters. After three years’ research, they have shown these bacteria's capacity to transform some of organochlorine compounds that are frequently found in aquifers into harmless products.
In Western societies, each year a huge amount of waste is generated. For a long time, its regular destination has been landfill or incineration. The UAB Composting Research Group (GICOM) focuses on transforming organic waste into value-added products, such as compost, which can be used as an...
As part of the DIGITAL project, the two centres will develop a biosensor to monitor daily and from home ammonia levels in patients with urea cycle disorders.
Researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the UAB have managed to produce electrical energy and hydrogen efficiently from the sewage treatment process. The proposed system, published in Water Research, uses bacteria which consume organic matter and...
Aeris develops technologies and systems for the biological treatment of liquid and gaseous pollutants that neither consume chemical reagents nor produce secondary pollutants.
Developed by researchers from ICN2 and the UAB, it is the first application using nanoparticles to improve the production of this source of renewable energy and the treatment of organic residues. The technology will be commercialised under the newly created spin-o...
Biological treatment of municipal waste water generates large amounts of sludge rich in organic matter and certain chemicals. This composition rends sludge an ideal waste to be valorised through composting. However, the composting facilities generate social rejection, often...
