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.

Acid recovery from copper metallurgical process streams polluted with arsenic by diffusion dialysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA copper smelter generates solutions containing H2SO4 (220 ± 10 g/L), non-metals (3.4 ± 0.2 g/L As) and metals (0.5 ± 0.1 g/L Zn, 0.13 ± 0.01 g/L Fe and 0.11 ± 0.01 g/L Cd) that are treated with lime as disposal option. ... -
Contribution of phases segregated from the UO2 matrix to the release of radionuclides from spent nuclear fuel and duration of the Instant Release Fraction (IRF)
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDuring the dissolution of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) some radionuclides are released to the solution simultaneously from different sources in the fuel. This is of particular importance to some radionuclides that contribute ... -
Kinetics of scandium recovery by TVEX-TBP from the solution formed after the salt chlorinator cake leaching
(EDP Sciences, 2020)
Article
Open AccessKinetics of scandium recovery by TVEX containing tributyl phosphate was studied from the clarified leaching solution of salt chlorinator cake. To assess the contribution of each diffusion phase, experimental data were ... -
From nanofiltration membrane permeances to design projections for the remediation and valorisation of acid mine waters
(Elsevier, 2020-10-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAcidic Mine Waters (AMWs) are characterised by high acidity (pH¿<¿3) as H2SO4 and elevated contents of metals (Al, Fe, Cu, Zn), including rare earth elements (REEs). Due to the exhaustion of minable REE containing-minerals, ... -
