Enviromental Catalysis Laboratory (Blu Nox)

The laboratory is devoted to the evaluation of the performance of innovative heterogeneous catalysts, photocatalysts, electrocatalysts and multifunctional catalytic systems for the abatement of pollutants in gaseous liquid phase, the production of energy and the purification of water. Moreover, activities related to circular economy, such as CO2 valorization for the production of calcium carbonate nanoparticles, reuse of food waste, energetic valorization of municipal solid waste, conversion of vegetable and animal fats into combustible, are carried out.
