UPO Researchers Achieve Major Breakthrough in Wastewater Pollutant Removal
A new video titled “Investigadores andaluces consiguen reducir los contaminantes presentes en aguas residuales” highlights a remarkable scientific achievement by researchers from Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO)—a core partner of the VALZEO project.
This achievement demonstrates the successful application of advanced catalytic materials to significantly reduce emerging contaminants in wastewater, contributing directly to VALZEO’s mission of developing sustainable, circular, and high-performance solutions for environmental remediation.
🔬 Scientific Impact
The UPO research team, including experts such as Dr. Menta Ballesteros Martín and Dr. A. Rabdel Ruiz-Salvador, has played a leading role in:
- Designing innovative zeolite-based and hybrid catalytic materials
- Conducting degradation and pollutant-removal experiments
- Advancing real-world applications for water purification
- Supporting VALZEO’s WP2 & WP3 scientific deliverables
The results showcased in the video position UPO as one of the driving forces behind VALZEO’s scientific progress.
🌍 Contribution to VALZEO’s Objectives
This milestone directly supports:
- Sustainable treatment of contaminated water
- Valorisation of waste-derived materials
- Innovative technologies for circular bioeconomy
