Variable pressure solid-state NMR methods to study gas-surface interactions in nanoporous sorbent materials for industrial post/precombustion CO2 capture

This project aims at developing high-resolution in-situ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) methods, adapted to variable pressure measurements, to gain an atomic-level understanding of the surface interactions between nanoporous inorganic-organic hybrid sorbent materials and gas mixtures mimicking industrial flue gas streams relevant in low- and high-pressure (postand pre-combustion) CO2 capture.

RENEFUEL

This project comprises the construction, test and optimized set-up of a system capable of generating fuel from renewable energy sources obtained from alkaline electrolysis of water using graphite electrodes without a membrane separating the generated gases.

SHARPE- Seismic Hazard - Probabilistic Assessment at long Return Periods - Exploratory project

The present scientific proposal aims at developing a holistic assessment PSHA at long return periods, and the evaluation of associated epistemic uncertainties. This goal is to be achieved by incorporating testing and evaluation of the consistency of the different parts that are integrated into the PSHA calculation. 

INOVSTONE 4.0

Inovstone 4.0 -  Tecnologias Avançadas e Software para a Pedra Natural is a Mobilizing Project of the Plano de Ação do Cluster dos Recursos Minerais. This project arises from the need to highlight the dynamic capacity of the Ornamental Rocks Sector (RO) and, at the same time, to reinforce its competitiveness in relation to the new digital procurement model, namely in the context of Building Information Model (BIM).
The four structuring axes of this project are:
1. Convergence with BIM's overall enforcement objectives in AEC;

Hybride Pultrusion - Production of hybride pultreded profiles

Os materiais compósitos em PRFV, obtidos pelo processo de pultrusão, têm tido uma aplicação crescente em vários campos da Construção Civil e infraestruturas associada. Em muitas das aplicações destes materiais, principalmente quando solicitados à flexão, as flechas induzidas são bastante elevadas quando comparadas com as de outros materiais habitualmente aplicados em elementos estruturais (o módulo de elasticidade destes perfis standard é sensivelmente 10 vezes inferior aos valores patenteados pelos aços convencionais).

NanoClean - Remediation of soils contaminated with pharmaceutical products using “green” zero valent iron nanoparticles

During the last decades a significant growth in both production and consumption of pharmaceutical products has been observed. This is because health services cover a higher number of users due to health policies, population growth, and scientific development, especially in medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences. In livestock an increased use of animal drugs has also been verified.
