  7. Laboratory of Membrane Processes at Requimte, FCT/UNL University Based Research Group: integrates REQUIMTE, the largest Portuguese research centre in Sustainable Chemistry (two Poles, ~ 200 researchers) Personnel: team of around 25 researchers (2 Professors, 2 Researchers, 4 Post-docs and 15 PhD students) Main Activity Domains: Membrane Development, Membrane Separation Processes, Membrane Bioreactors, Process Monitoring and Control

  8. Research Projects Membrane Development • (Photo) CatalyticMembranesforAdvancedOxydationProcesses (AOP) • Development of MembraneswithDefined 3D Topography (TissueScaffolds) • Stimulus – ResponsiveMembranesforFractionation of Target Molecules (Photo-induced and Magnetically-induced responses) • Biopolymers and Packaging – BarrierMembraneswithOrientedFlakes and Nanostructures • Molecular Probing at MembraneSurfaces and BoundaryLayers

  9. ResearchProjects • Process Monitoring and Modelling • Mass Spectrometry for On-line Monitoring of Pervaporation Processes • Impedance Spectroscopy for Characterization of Ionic Liquid Membranes and Membrane Fouling • Raman Confocal Spectroscopy for Determination of Solute Concentration Profiles in Boundary Layers and Inside Membranes • 2D-Flurometry for Monitoring Membrane Supported Biofilms and Fouling Agents in Membrane Bioreactors • Fluorescence Techniques to Characterize Protein Behaviour during Ultrafiltration Processing • Molecular Probes for Measurement of Local Temperatures and Oxygen Concentration at Membrane Surfaces

  10. ResearchProjects • Membrane Separation Processes • Protein Fractionation by Ultrafiltration • Solvent Resistant Nanofiltration for Catalyst Reuse • Membrane Contactors using Ionic Liquids for Treatment of Waste Gases (SO2, dioxines) and CO2 capture • Recovery of Bioactive compounds from Agro-industrial Residues by Bioconversion / Nanofiltration / Reverse Osmosis • Membrane Bioreactors • Ion-Exchange Membrane Bioreactors for Removal of Ionic Pollutants from Drinking Water Supplies (Nitrate, Nitrite, Perchlorate, Bromate, Arsenate, Ionic Mercury) - Biphasic Membrane Reactors / Contactors for Specific Enzymatic Conversions
