R2EM - Resource Recovery and Environmental Management
R2EM group is developing research activity on development of sustainable urban and industrial waste management cycles based on resource recovery approaches promoting circular solutions of waste to product and waste to energy. Research also involves efforts on developing environmental remediation solutions for soils and ground water remediation, process and environmental monitoring and environmental risk assessment on ports.

Evaluation of torrefied poplar-biomass as a low-cost sorbent for lead and terbium removal from aqueous solutions and energy co-generation
(2019-04-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialTwo low-cost renewable poplar-based materials were manufactured in this work for energy production and as sorbents for lead and terbium removal from aqueous effluents. Torrefaction was used as a pretreatment process for ... -
Characterization of chromium (III) removal from aqueous solutions by an immature coal (leonardite). Toward a better understanding of the phenomena involved
(2014-01)
Article
Accés obertRemoval of chromium (III) from aqueous solutions by leonardite (a low-cost adsorbent) was studied in a series of batch experiments. Stabilization of the adsorbent material with alginate beads was also investigated. The ... -
Recovery of sulphuric acid and added value metals (Zn, Cu and rare earths) from acidic mine waters using nanofiltration membranes
(2019-04-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialAcidic mine waters (AMWs) contain, in addition to moderate concentrations of sulphuric acid, relatively high concentrations of transition elements (e.g. Fe, Al, Cu, Zn) and, in some cases, minor amounts of valuable rare ... -
Integration of nanofiltration membranes in recovery options of rare earth elements from acidic mine waters
(2019-02-10)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialAcid mine waters (AMWs) are characterized by a low pH, high concentrations of transition metals (iron, copper, zinc), and the presence of highly valuable metals such as rare earth elements (REE) at lower concentrations. ... -
