Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for decontamination from toxic substances
Eco Research manages a hydrothermal carbonization plant (HTC) and promotes studies for the decontamination of various matrices from toxic compounds. The HTC treatment makes it possible to transform, under certain conditions, the biomass into hydrochar, a product similar to lignite. Similarly, it reduces the presence of persistent organic pollutants, such as dioxins and furans, in […]
Project on the quality and healthy of indoor air
Eco Research performs research projects that aim to: The studies are based on the detection of the main air parameters (temperature, humidity, concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2)) and the quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde. The results allow the development of specific knowledge to formulate, within realistic limits, tools to improve indoor air […]
