Catalytic Depolymerization Technology for Sustainable PLA Recycling
As the world strives toward a circular economy and faces mounting environmental concerns about plastic waste, innovative recycling solutions for bioplastics are urgently required. Polylactic acid (PLA), the most common bioplastic, is widely used in packaging, textiles, disposables, biomedical devices, and more due to its biodegradability and non-toxic degradation. However, current end-of-life solutions for PLA—such […] Read More >
Fuels and other valuable compounds from biomass and agricultural wastes using Hydrothermal Liquefaction
• The growth of human population increases both the overall energy demand and the environmental footprint in the form of a massive production of waste. • Currently energy production and waste treatment are viewed as two separate issues. To change this perspective, the synergy of organic waste conversion and energy production should be developed.• Various […] Read More >
Ulva sp. (Chlorophyta) intensive cultivation in a coastal area of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The Need Global population growth together with enhanced quality of life, in the era of climate change, is expected to cause doubling of the world’s food and energy demand by 2050. Furthermore, there is a strong interest in the replacement of fossil-based industries towards economical, environmentally friendly, and sustainable resource, for food, chemical and energy […] Read More >
Solar-Powered Water Disinfection Based on UV-LED
Preventing mortality and improving health of billion people through accessible, environmentally friendly water disinfection. The pain people suffer due to contaminated water Over 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faces (WHO 2019), which contains bacteria, protozoa, and viruses causing a variety of diseases. In India specifically, 128M households live in rural […] Read More >
Novel way to produce alcohol from waste. Producing alcohol to fight Covid -19
The increase in the world’s population as well as the development of technology and economics results among others in the increase in generation of waste. Large amounts of trash are the result of products that were consumed and discarded as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). As biomass materials are rich in cellulose, they can be used […] Read More >
Scalable Bio-Hydrogen Production; a Novel Green Energy Technology
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a promising clean energy carrier and a valuable commodity with over 60 million tons produced globally and used in many industrial technologies. The current industrial method of hydrogen production is consuming methane (a high-value fuel) and polluting the environment. Bio-hydrogen production by photosynthetic microbes represents an alternate green energy strategy that […] Read More >
Methos, System and Computer Program Product for Generating a Two Dimensional Fog Map from Cellular Communication Network Information
A computerized method for generating a two-dimensional fog map of a region from a near-ground sensors network of commercial microwave links (CMLs), the region is virtually segmented to a grid of multiple pixels, the method comprises: collecting received signals levels from the CMLs, deriving the links’ attenuation that are spread within multiple pixels of the […] Read More >
Water-Tech Laboratory
Our group focuses on developing water-treatment processes and technologies by introducing natural and induced photons, radicals, reactive species and nanoparticles into the water, using UV photocatalysis- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), as well as Reuse technologies via hybrid biofiltration, ozonation and short soil aquifer treatment (SAT) of secondary effluent. We’ve assembled an AOP pilot […] Read More >
method developed for the extraction of Azithromycin from environmental samples
Hospital wastewaters (HWW) provide a significant point-source of pharmaceuticals into the environment, especially for substances that occur at much higher concentrations in HWW than in urban wastewater. Cytotoxic or cytostatic anti-cancer drugs, derived from oncology wards, are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and fetotoxic. Anti-cancer pharmaceuticals are usually found in HWW. Due to their genetically […] Read More >
