DESOLINATION blesti na sejmu EuroMembrane 2024: Predstavitev najsodobnejših raziskav na področju membran za direktno osmozo

by | 12. september 2024 | Events

Projekt DESOLINATION je imel izjemen učinek na letošnjem Konferenca EuroMembrane, vodilni mednarodni dogodek na področju membranske znanosti in tehnologije. Na konferenci, ki je potekala leta 2024, so se zbrali strokovnjaki z vsega sveta, da bi izmenjali spoznanja in raziskali najnovejše dosežke na področju membranskih tehnologij, zlasti za uporabo pri obdelavi vode in razsoljevanju.

S ponosom poudarjamo, da Aylin Kınık, iz Raziskovalna skupina za membranske materiale in procese na Tehnološki univerzi v Eindhovnu je projekt DESOLINATION predstavila z impresivno postersko predstavitvijo. Njena raziskava, ki jo je opravila skupaj s profesorji Zandrie Borneman and Kitty Nijmeijer, je raziskal “Vpliv plurona kot vlečne raztopine na membrane LbL pri napredni osmozi (FO),” ponuja nove poglede na to, kako lahko te rešitve izboljšajo učinkovitost membran v tehnologijah razsoljevanja. To vrhunsko delo je vzbudilo veliko zanimanja in prispevalo dragocen vpogled v prihodnost trajnostnega čiščenja vode.

Dogodek je bil odlična priložnost, da projekt DESOLINATION te dosežke predstavi svetovni javnosti, s čimer se je še bolj utrdila njegova vloga pri oblikovanju prihodnosti membranskih tehnologij. Prebojni dosežki, ki so bili predstavljeni na EuroMembrane 2024 prikazujejo zavezanost projekta k reševanju kritičnih izzivov na področju pomanjkanja vode in trajnostnega razsoljevanja.

Poleg tega je naš projektni partner Tekniker (zastopnik: Mailen Argaiz, glej sliko) so predstavili svoje inovativne raziskave o tankoslojnih kompozitnih membranah, razvitih z elektrospuniranimi nanovlakni in grafenov oksid (GO). Njihove ugotovitve so pokazale opazno izboljšanje pretok vode (Jw) and zavračanje soli (Js)-ključni kazalniki učinkovitosti za povečanje učinkovitosti membran za direktno osmozo v postopkih razsoljevanja.

Zahvaljujemo se vsem, ki ste se med dogodkom povezali z nami in sodelovali pri naših raziskavah. Spremljajte še več inovacij ekipe DESOLINATION, saj še naprej premikamo meje membranske znanosti za bolj varno oskrbo z vodo v svetu!

LUT je aktivno sodeloval v več panelnih razpravah, ki so se osredotočale na izkušnje, pridobljene pri preteklih in tekočih eksperimentalnih projektih sCO2.

Konferenca je ponudila dragocene priložnosti za mreženje in izmenjavo spoznanj s kolegi z vsega sveta.

Udeleženci so se lahko udeležili tudi vrste visokokakovostnih znanstvenih predstavitev. Dogodek se je izkazal za vir navdiha, saj je ekipi LUT zagotovil sveže ideje za sedanje in prihodnje projekte.

TURBO EXPO 2024: International conference

Letošnji dogodek je bil osredotočen na ključne korake, ki so potrebni za doseganje ničelne prihodnosti na področju pogona in energije. Udeleženci so raziskovali prelomne tehnologije, ki presegajo tradicionalne rešitve s plinskimi turbinami, vključno z napredkom na področju vodika. Program je izpostavil tudi širši ekosistem, ki podpira trajnostne izdelke, kot je zelena energija za nizkoogljična sintetična goriva, ter ključna področja, kot so certificiranje, predpisi in ekonomija obsega. Udeleženci so prispevali k oblikovanju skupnega načrta za bolj inovativno in trajnostno prihodnost.

41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference in Naples | June 19-21, 2024

41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference in Naples | June 19-21, 2024

by | Maj 28, 2024 | Events

This week, our project coordinator presented DESOLINATION's work at the 41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference!

From June 19 until 21, Igor Matteo Carraretto, PhD candidate at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI – our project coordinator), shared valuable insights gleaned from the DESOLINATION project. Funded under Horizon 2020, DESOLINATION aims to revolutionize desalination processes in arid regions through innovative decarbonization strategies.

His presentation highlighted the project’s pioneering efforts in integrating various technologies such as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), advanced power production cycles, and Forward Osmosis (FO) systems. These technologies are pivotal in achieving sustainable and eco-friendly desalination solutions, particularly crucial for water-scarce regions.

Looking ahead, the project seeks to foster collaborations and knowledge exchange among experts and researchers. Igor emphasized the importance of engaging with the Italian Thermo-Fluid-Dynamic Association and connecting with researchers specializing in desalination projects involving thermo-responsive polymers. This outreach aims to further expand the project’s impact and accelerate innovations that address critical challenges in water and energy sustainability.
