COSMOS: organic solvent nanofiltration membranes on low cost ceramic supports

I am specialised in high temperature thermochemical conversion of materials, including biomass (woody, agricultural and food/feed residues and waste), fossil feedstocks and mineral materials. Also, the recycling of end-of- life materials, such as plastic/composites, is an important part of my work.

The thermochemical processes of my interest include pyrolysis, gasification and combustion. Also, sustainable high temperature heat for industrial processes belongs to my portfolio. This includes modern carbon-free fuels combustion such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as electrification options primarily based on resistive heating.

My R&D focuses on all aspects of the conversion chain, including in-depth feedstock analyses, storage/feeding properties, thermochemical conversion performance characterisation and residues, including emissions (NOx, dioxins, PFAS).
