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.

Open AccessIn this work, the evaluation of the life cycle of the service provided by a medium-power motorcycle in a Spanish urban environment was carried out, comparing two motorcycles, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) is compared ... -
Describing ion transport and water splitting in an electrodialysis stack with bipolar membranes by a 2-D model: Experimental validation
(2022-07-30)
Article
Open AccessElectrodialysis with bipolar membranes (EDBM) has drawn attention motivated by their application in gener- ating reagents from salts. Due to the water splitting (WS) occurring at the junction of the bipolar membranes (BPMs), ... -
Assessing the environmental risk of silver nanoparticles in aquatic ecosystems
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessAs well known, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being increasingly used in many different sectors due to their particular biocidal characteristics. The existence of these substances in many day life products leads to the ... -

(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Article
Open AccessSeawater represents a potential resource for raw materials extraction. Although NaCl is the most representative mineral extracted other valuable compounds such as Mg, Li, Sr, Rb and B and elements at trace level (Cs, Co, ... -
Removal of nitrate and pesticides from groundwater by nano zero-valent iron injection pulses under biostimulation and bioaugmentation scenarios in continuous-flow packed soil columns
(2022-11)
Article
Open AccessThis study evaluates the NO3- removal from groundwater through Heterotrophic Denitrification (HDN) (promoted by the addition of acetate and/or an inoculum rich in denitrifiers) and Abiotic Chemical Nitrate Reduction (ACNR) ... -
Computer simulation of ion-exchange membrane electrodialysis for salt concentration and reduction of RO discharged brine for salt production and marine environment conservation
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open AccessThe salt discharged from reverse osmosis is concentrated by ion-exchange membrane electrodialysis to produce salt for industrial use and the salt concentration is reduced to seawater level for preventing environmental ... -
