“Thermoelectric generators arise as an option to recover part of the great amount of energy wasted as heat in the exhaust systems of internal combustion engines. Results of fuel savings with diesel and gasoline engines are provided.”

“This work is focused on improving the knowledge of physical and morphological characteristics of aviation fuel injection sprays with application in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). This work is carried out by means of the combination of complex and singular experimental techniques such as an optical engine and Schlieren technique with modelling tools.”

“This work focuses on the effect of alternative fuels (biodiesel and paraffinic) on the injection and combustion processes, on the regulated pollutant emissions (NOx, THC, PM) and the characterization of the particulate material generated from a physic-chemical point of view (morphology, oxidation, chemical reactivity) and biological (genotoxicity and mutagenicity).”

“The degradation of chlordecone and beta-hexachlorocyclohexane in aqueous media is possible by means of photolysis, (photo-)Fenton oxidation and ozonation processes. ”

“This is the story of a PhD project that turned into a spin-off company on ultrasonic cleaning and advanced chemical processes. The basics of sonochemistry and process intensification are also introduced. ”
