Water Detoxification Using Innovative vi-Nanocatalysts
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
Clean Water (227017)
Area
Environment including Climate change
Description
The concept of the project is based on the development of innovative nanostructured UV-Visible photocatalysts for water treatment and detoxification by using doped TiO2 nanomaterials with visible light response. The project aims at an efficient and viable water detoxification technology exploiting solar energy and recent advances in nano-engineered titania photocatalysts and nanofiltration membranes for the destruction of extremely hazardous compounds in water.
