  5. 2.Research: ENV SUS • Assessment of heavy metal levels in ambient air by means of tools based on multivariate analysis Supervisor: Prof. Ignacio Fernández-Olmo PhD. Germán Santos Atmospheric pollution due to the presence of particulate matter (PM) in ambient air remains one of the environmental issues of concern in urban areas, especially because of the adverse health effects associated with some of its constituents such as heavy metals. In this respect, the European Union (EU) through the Air Quality Framework Directive has set air quality targets for some trace metals in particulate matter. However, the analytical procedures for the determination of heavy metals in PM are expensive and time-consuming. According to EU Directives, since the heavy metal levels do not exceed the lower assessment threshold in some studied sites of Cantabria (Northern Spain), objective estimation techniques can be used as an alternative to experimental determination. These techniques can be interpreted as mathematical methods to calculate concentrations from values measured at other locations and/or times. In this regard, multivariate regression techniques are widely used in the literature to estimate the concentration of air pollutants. The aim of this work is to estimate PM-bound metal levels in some urban areas in Cantabria by means of statistical models based on multivariate analysis techniques. These estimations can be usedfor air quality assessment as an alternative to experimental measurements.

  6. 2.Research: LCA • Life cycle assessment of packaging waste incineration in Spain and Portugal: a multi input/output allocation model • Supervisors: Dr. Rubén Aldaco, Prof. Angel Irabien • PhD. María Margallo Waste generation in Europe has increased in recent years, amounting to more than 2 billion tons in 2010. Most common waste treatments are landfilling, incineration and recycling. However, despite landfilling is still the most common practice, waste incineration has increased in the last years.The main advantages of incineration are the reduction of mass and volume of residues and the recovery of energy. However, incineration had gained a bad reputation owing to the environmental impact. To assess the advantages and disadvantages and the environmental impacts a life cycle perspective is required. Within the framework of FENIX project it is proposed a multi input-output allocation model that describe the Spanish and Portuguese waste incineration landscape.

  7. 2.Research: MEMB • Valorization of bovinewheyproteinsbymeans of ionicliquid-basedsystems • Supervisor: Prof. Angel Irabien • PhD. Enrique Alvarez-Guerra Bovine whey is a by-product from cheese manufacture that is considered an industrial wastewater pollutant, but it contains high added value compounds such as lactoferrin (LF), a bovine whey proteins with important nutraceutical properties. Traditional methods to obtain whey proteins are time and cost consuming, so they constitute the major bottleneck of the technical and economic viability of protein valorization processes. The aim of this work is the development of a valorization process that overcome the constraints of traditional methods. For this purpose, the advantages of liquid-liquid extraction techniques are combined with the interesting properties of the ionic liquids. Whey proteins can be recovered at the liquid-liquid interface when specific ionic liquid/salt systems are used.

  8. 2.Research: MEMB • New membranematerialsfor CO2separation • Dr. Clara Casado-Coterillo • The performance of gas separation membranes is usually studied by their permeability (production) and selectivity (separation factor). In this light, the research starts from commercially available polymers or polymer membranes of high free volume, i.e. high permeability, that fall on the upperbound established by Prof. Robeson in 2008 and improve their selectivity by the introduction of materials that are proved good adsorbents or absorbents for CO2, such as molecular sieves (zeo-types or inorganic particles), ionic liquids and/or polymerizable ionic liquids in a polymer that is already highly permeable to this gas. Figure. Robeson’s upperbound

  9. Research: MEMB • Preparation and characterization of flat and hollow fiber membranes for CO2separation • Supervisors: Dr. Clara Casado Coterillo and Prof. Ángel Irabien • PhD: Ana Fernández Barquín • Membrane configuration is a key factor to improve the area and to reduce cost and volume. Hollow fiber configuration seems to satisfy these requirements being able to treat high CO2 volume and present elevated area/volume ratio, good operating flexibility and handling in the manufacturing of modules. These factors affect the efficiency of the membrane in the separation process and facilitate the scaling up of the permeation unit. • My research focuses on the change of geometry from flat configuration to hollow fiber membranes. Those materials which overcome the existent material capacity in the CO2/N2 separation, will be used in the generation of hollow fibers, whose separation and transport properties will be measured, in the same way, to analyze the geometry change effect. 9

  10. 2.Research: MEMB • Non-dispersive absorption with ionic liquids Supervisors: Prof. Ángel Irabien, Dr. Aurora Garea PhD. Lucía Gómez Coma • Post-combustion system based on amines is used conventionally for carbon dioxide separation. However ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as new attractive solvents because of their zero emission solvent feature. • The aim of this work is to describe the temperature effect on the carbon dioxide mass transfer coefficient when applying an IL with high CO2 solubility: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [emim][Ac]. Polypropylene membrane contactors are used to achieve this issue. The overall mass transfer coefficient and the process efficiency are experimentally calculated and discussed in terms of CO2 recovery. Furthermore, the chemical reaction between [emim][Ac] and CO2 is being studied.

  11. 2.Research: CO2 • CO2separationusingSupportedIonicLiquidmembranes (SILMs) • Supervisors: Prof. Ángel Irabien and Dr. Jonathan Albo • PhD. Esther Santos New more energy-efficient and cost-effective strategies are needed for CO2 removal from gas streams. Amongvariousmembranesfor CO2 separation, Supported Ionic Liquid Membranes (SILMs) show higher selectivity compared to polymeric membranes. Nevertheless, the application of SILMs in gas separation still remains some challenges. Themainobjectiveof our work is to investigate new absorbents with higher capacity and selectivity for CO2 capture. • RecentPublications: J.Albo, E.Santos, L.A.Neves, S.P.Simeonov, C.A.M.Afonso, J.G.Crespo,A.

  12. 2.Research: CO2 • CO2valorizationto formate: electroreduction in aqueous media • Supervisors: Prof. Angel Irabien , Dr. Manuel Alvarez-Guerra • Master Student: Andrés Del Castillo The conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemical products appears as a more interesting option than carbon storage, since it allows the recycling of CO2into added-value products. One of the most interesting is formate because it is a raw material used at several industries and it is a promising candidate fuel for low-temperature fuel-cells. The performance of continuous electro-reduction processes for CO2 valorization into formate is currently being studied using tin, both in the form of Sn plate cathode or Snnanopowder deposited on a gas diffusion electrode (GDE). Cathode: 2e- +H++CO2  HCOO- Anode: 2OH- ½ O2 + H2O + 2e-

  13. 2.Research: CO2 • CO2 valorization to carbonates: electrosynthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol in the presence of ionic liquid [bmim][Br] Supervisors: Prof. Ángel Irabien, Dr. Manuel Alvarez-Guerra PhD. Mª Isabel García Carbon dioxide is one of the main contributors to greenhouse effect, so avoiding CO2 emissions by its capture and subsequent storage, or even better, subsequent valorization into valuable products, has attracted much attention. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an environmentally friendly valuable chemical of great interest, used as alkylating agent, intermediate in the production of higher carbonates and potential gasoline additive due to its high oxygen content. The aim of this work is to assess the technical feasibility of CO2 valorization into DMC by means of electrosynthesis using CO2 and methanol, in the presence of ionic liquid [bmim][Br] and with potassium methoxide as cocatalyst. A filter press cell with anodic and cationic compartments separated by a Nafioncation-exchange membrane is used, and Pt/Nb plates are selected as electrodes. The proposed approach avoids the conventional addition of alkylating agents such as carcinogenic CH3I, and unlike previous work that used an undivided cell, our experimental set-up involves a filter-press type cell configuration to allow continuous operation.
