ALFAGREEN - All For A Green Future: Biorefining the Energreen liquefied, development of new related products and up-grade of the pilot plant for this purpose

The AlfaGreen project has an implementation period from 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2018 with a budget allocation of 1,000,272.73. SECIL and CERENA-IST are the two entities that integrate this project, which has as a physical and conceptual basis the construction of a biorefinery from the ENERGREEN pilot plant, previously built for the production of advanced liquid biofuel from biomass / wastes for subsequent use in the energy supply of cement kilns.

Hybride Pultrusion - Production of hybride pultreded profiles

Os materiais compósitos em PRFV, obtidos pelo processo de pultrusão, têm tido uma aplicação crescente em vários campos da Construção Civil e infraestruturas associada. Em muitas das aplicações destes materiais, principalmente quando solicitados à flexão, as flechas induzidas são bastante elevadas quando comparadas com as de outros materiais habitualmente aplicados em elementos estruturais (o módulo de elasticidade destes perfis standard é sensivelmente 10 vezes inferior aos valores patenteados pelos aços convencionais).

BIOCriticalMetals - Recognition of microbial functional communities and assessment of the mineralizing potential (bioleaching) for high-tech critical metals

The specific objectives established for BIOCriticalMetals are the following:
1. To sample and characterize mine waste tailings and associated microorganisms from tungsten and massive sulphide deposits from different climate contexts;
2. To assess the bioleaching process using microorganisms to mobilize critical metals W, In, Ga, Te and Mo from mine waste tailings for further processing (i.e. biosorption and accumulation);
3. To evaluate the bioaccumulation development for biosorptive leachate treatment with bacteria for W, In, Ga, Te, Mo;
