Projects
Plasma assisted catalysis as a sustainable indoor air purification technology. University of Antwerp
Photocatalytic gas scrubber as innovative air purification technology. University of Antwerp
Efficient and sustainable air purification technology: implementation of a (photo)catalytic nano coating in an electrostatic precipitator. University of Antwerp
Development of an air purification strategy with microbially precipitated nanocatalysts. Ghent University
This projects wants to apply the added values of microbially precipitated nanocatalysts in water treatment for purification of air. For a number of target pollutants, new types of reactors and new types of catalysts (new biologically precipitated metals, bimetallic catalysts) will be investigated. Next to that, also an detailed caracerisation of the formed nanoparticles are the scope of this research.
Improved CFD modelling of pollutant dispersion in urban environments for the assessment of air purification strategies. University of Antwerp
Upgrading and purification of gaseous waste flows by coupling of an advanced catalytic system and an algal bioreactor. University of Antwerp
Combining plasma treatment and (photo)catalysis towards an energy-efficient technology for abatement of polluted air (COP-CAT) Ghent University
Plasma treatment is a technology for the breakdown of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated air. By combining it with oxidation catalysis and photocatalysis, we overcome a number of its limitations and unite the advantages of the three technologies. This synergy should lead to an energy-efficiënt and complete breakdown of VOCs for many applications.
