We are excited to announce that MSc. Dianet Camejo Rodríguez and MSc. Milianys Pérez Reyes, two researchers in training from the Experimental Station of Pastures and Forages “Indio Hatuey” at the University of Matanzas, Cuba, are currently undertaking a research stay at the University Pablo de Olavide in Seville, Spain.
Working closely with Dr. Rabdel Ruiz Salvador and the team from the Department of Physical, Chemical, and Natural Systems, their research focuses on extracting silica from rice husk ash and synthesizing multifunctional composite materials based on zeolites. The aim is to apply these multifunctional composites as catalysts for environmental remediation and bioenergy applications, specifically biodiesel production.
This collaboration is part of the VALZEO project and represents a significant step forward in our efforts to valorisation of agro-industrial wastes via the production of zeolite-based composite materials and their use in environmental remediation and biofuel production.
Stay tuned for more updates on their groundbreaking work.
Thank you
