FOTOCATGRAF – Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysis for a safe and sustainable water supply: an advanced technology for emerging pollutants removal - UTAP-ICDT/CTM-NAN/0025/2014
FOTOCATGRAF is an R&D&I project funded by FCT in the framework of the UT Austin|Portugal Program in the area of Emerging Technologies. It involves a multidisciplinary team composed by three Portuguese Associated Laboratories REQUIMTE, CICECO and INESC-TEC, one USA partner, the UT Austin, and the portuguese company Águas do Centro Litoral (AdCL), S.A., Grupo Águas de Portugal. The team has recognized skills and expertise as well as cutting-edge facilities in the fields of (Nano)materials, Eco-sustainable (Photo)Catalysis, Analytical Chemistry, Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies, Wireless Sensor Networks and Data Mining. The project aims at developing a new advanced graphene-based technology for the removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater to ensure a safer and sustainable water supply.
