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.

Liquid–Liquid membrane contactors incorporating surface skin asymmetric hollow fibres of poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) for ammonium recovery as liquid fertilisers
(2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwo novel hollow-fibre liquid–liquid membrane contactor (HF-LLMC) modules, containing S-type (skin layer with low porosity) and Q-type (skin layer with higher porosity) fibres, have been evaluated. Both fibres, with ... -
Removal of nitrate from groundwater by nano-scale zero-valent iron injection pulses in continuous-flow packed soil columns
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyInjection of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) into aquifers has gained increasing attention of researchers for in-situ treatment of NO3--contaminated groundwater. nZVI has proved efficient in chemically reducing NO3- ... -
Integration of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis technologies in polyphenols recovery schemes from winery and olive mill wastes by aqueous-based processing
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-03-01)
Article
Open AccessMore sustainable waste management in the winery and olive oil industries has become a major challenge. Therefore, waste valorization to obtain value-added products (e.g., polyphenols) is an efficient alternative that ... -
Anticipatory life cycle analysis framework for sustainable management of end-of-life crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels
(Elsevier, 2022-04-15)
Article
Open AccessIn this research, a framework for performing Anticipatory Life Cycle Analysis (a-LCA) has been developed to identify the sustainable end of life (EoL) management option for crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) panels. ... -
Recovery of rare Earth elements from acidic mine waters by integration of a selective chelating ion-exchanger and a solvent impregnated resin
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA polymeric ion-exchange resin, incorporating methyl-amino-phosphonic (TP260) functionalities, and a solvent impregnated resin (SIR) incorporating tri-methylpentylphosphinic acid (TP272), were evaluated for the selective ... -
Chapter 5 - Recovery of high-added value compounds from dairy and winery agro-food industries using electrodialysis
(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
