The present work, done in collaboration with researchers from the Centre Tecnològic BETA of the...
The set of environmental and health problems associated to chemical pesticides lead to the development of alternatives to treat crops. One of the options are...
Understanding and analyzing the chemical and biological composition of "beneficial" biofilms found inside the bioreactors offers the opportunity to design them properly and, consequently, to create sewage treatment systems and gaseous streams. In this sense, the GAB group...
The reactor was put into motion this week and will be producing biopesticides under the framework of the European Decisive. The experimental facilities will use organic waste to produce biopesticides for farm use.
Industrial activities generate wastewater and gases with high sulfate content. Sulfate is not harmful but if it is disposed into sewers or rivers, some bacteria transform them into hydrogen...
For the first time, researchers of the Composting Research Group (GICOM) have achieved flower aromas of roses, hyacinths or jasmine from agroindustrials residues using solid-state fermentation technology (SSF) and microorganisms that have the ability to transform...
The Composting Research Group (GICOM) from the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering Departament at UAB has developed an aroma producing process by yeast solid state fermentation (SSF) of organic waste from the sugar industry. This process is cleaner and more economic than the...
Researchers from the Biotechnology and Biomedicine Institut (IBB) at UAB have discovered a new therapeutical aproximation to Parkinson’s disease, focused on the alpha-synuclein, a protein involved in this and other neurodegenerative disorders, which’s...
The wastewater treatment plant developed by the UAB and Aigües de Manresa S.A. municipal company, generates value-added products simultaneously to the debugging process. The system recovers 50% of the phosphorus, useful as a fertilizer, extracts materials to produce...
Dr. Xavier Font Segura, professor at the UAB School of Engineering and researcher of the GICOM group, has carried out a prospective study to find the countries and research institutions that lead research on anaerobic digestion in Europe. The empirical study of have...
