2nd co-funded call AGROECOLOGY PARTNERSHIP

2nd co-funded call

(NOW OPEN)

“Integrating environmental, economic and social perspectives in assessing the performance of agroecology. Value-chain and policy implications”
This call focuses on the performance of agroecology, under different aspects: evaluating this performance in its various dimensions, quantifying environmental impacts, transforming value chains, and contributing to the design of public policies to better support the transition.

Valorization of agro-industrial waste through the extraction of silica for use in catalytic applications involved in CO2 capture

The goal of this research was to develop advanced silica materials from rice husk ash. A renewable and abundant agro-industrial waste that causes problems of accumulation and final disposal in the environment. Using extraction and synthesis methods, nanometric silica was produced. This silica was then used as a support material for nickel-based catalysts applied in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.This silica was then used as a support material for the development of nickel-based catalysts applied in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.
