Project

CROAL

Research on biogas purification using microalgae and carbon-encased iron nanoparticles (OPS).

The CROAL research project aims to improve biogas purification with microalgae and the application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles encapsulated in a carbon matrix (also known as OPS), obtained from a residue from olive oil production (vegetable water).

Batch trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of adding Smallops nanoparticles to a microalgae biogas purification system.

The project’s research team is composed of staff from the University of Valladolid in collaboration with SMALLOPS.
