(Elsevier, 2024-11-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe technical feasibility of leaching antimony from an antimony-bearing copper sulphide concentrate, using alkaline sulphide solutions and microwave-assisted and non-assisted heating technology, is investigated at a ... -
Recovery of ammonia from centrate water in urban waste water treatment plants via direct contact membrane distillation: Process performance in long-term pilot-scale operation
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Article
Open AccessOur current industrial ammonia cycle is far from being sustainable – while intense energy is required to produce ammonia – almost half of it ends up in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) where is finally transformed and ... -
The role of nanofiltration modelling tools in the design of sustainable valorisation of metal-influenced acidic mine waters: The Aznalcóllar open-pit case
(2023-01)
Article
Open AccessAcid Mine Waters (AMWs) are considered the most challenging environmental problem in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (South of Spain) so far, being characterised by an acidic pH (H2SO4-based), high content of heavy metals (e.g. ... -
The characterization of black mass from spent lithium-Ion scooter batteries using multi-analytical techniques
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-04-01)
Article
Open AccessThe process of recycling lithium-ion batteries is drawing global attention due to a shortage of critical raw materials (CRMs), a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach that meets the needs of many industries. ... -
Integrating diffusion dialysis for sustainable acid recovery from ion exchange regeneration stages: characterization of metal and non-metal ions migration
(Elsevier, 2024-06-07)
Article
Open AccessSeawater mining presents a potential option for recovering the European Union’s Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), but direct extraction from seawater is challenging due to their low concentrations, as most of them are Trace ... -
Electrodialysis with bipolar membranes to valorise saline waste streams: analysing the fate of valuable minor elements
(Elsevier, 2025-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBrine mining can represent a valuable non-conventional resource for the extraction of Mg, Li, B, Sr and other Trace Elements (TEs) such as Rb, Cs, whose recoveries require chemical reagents such as alkaline and acidic ... -
