The SOLAR2CLEAN project aims at the achievement of a highly efficient engineered photocatalytic system, driven by solar light, of high applicability in real-life, targeting wastewater purification, i.e., the degradation of pollutants like microplastics and antibiotic residues generated by a high-value Portuguese industry. It involves a dynamic research plan fostering innovation, technology integration, and international collaborations.<\/p>

The SOLAR2CLEAN project contributes with new and affordable technologies and methodologies for better water management and sanitation, less pollution, reduction of hazardous chemicals and materials in the oceans and rivers, and for sustainable and modern energy solutions, aligned with goals 6 and 7 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The clean and environmentally sound technology envisaged in this project aligns with the urgent needs for industrial processes, namely in the treatment of effluents and addressing SDGs 9, 12, and 13, i.e., sustainable industrialization, responsible production, and climate change.<\/p>

The project involves the synthesis of new nanomaterials supported on porous spheres, called MICROSCAFS\u00ae, that the group develops. Furthermore, the photocatalyst is modified with dopants to achieve better visible light response and maximize photodegradation properties. The supported photocatalyst is employed in a batch and in a continuous setup, and we also explore the kinetics and the by-products of the photodegradation process.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t \t <\/div> \r\n\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
