Green Plastic recycling: Additives removal THrough renewable solvents to enhancing the enzymatic depolymerization (GreenPATH)
PartnerFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
GreenPATH aims to develop a sustainable pretreatment process that combines high-pressure solid-liquid extraction (HP-SLE) with low-cost, renewable solvents, namely biosolvents and deep eutectic solvents (DES), to extract the additives in a key step prior to enzymatic depolymerization. The focus of thi...Recovery and separation of platinum group metals and rare earth elements from spent automotive catalytic converters (PlatILPlus)
PartnerFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
PlatILPlus is an FCT-funded research project that aims to develop eco-friendly yet readily applicable methodologies for the valorization of Spent Automotive Catalytic Converters (SACC) through hydrometallurgical processes. The project focuses on the recovery and separation of Platinum Group Metals (PGM) and Rare Earth Elements (REE) to ...Publications
