BIOCOPS

Research to improve biogas production from brewery and pumpkin sludge by applying carbon-encased iron nanoparticles, the OPS

The BIOCOPS research project aims to improve biogas production from brewery and pumpkin sludge by applying zero-valent iron nanoparticles encapsulated in a carbon matrix (also known as OPS), obtained from a residue from olive oil production (vegetable water).

The project’s research team is comprised of staff from the Institute for Technological Research and the Rafael Mariño Chair of New Energy Technologies at the School of Engineering (ICAI), in collaboration with SMALLOPS.
