Clinical evaluation of carbons of controlled porosity as a new therapeutic for the treatment of liver cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. (CARBALIVE)

Date du début: 1 mai 2015, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2019,

Chronic liver disease affects about 29-million Europeans accounting for about 170,000 deaths at a cost of around €15.8bn. This chronic non-communicable disease is increasing at an alarming rate due to increasing European obesity, alcohol use and ageing. The three main causes of the disease; alcohol, fatty liver and viral hepatitis are amenable to prevention and treatment. Gut-derived endotoxins an ...

Na-Ion bAttery Demonstration for Electric Storage (NAIADES)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Wide scale implementation of renewable energy will require growth in production of inexpensive, efficient energy storage systems. The extension of battery technology to large-scale storage will become necessary as intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and wave become more prevalent and integrated into electrical grid. Lithium-ion battery appears as quite mature for this applica ...

Bio-electrochemically-assisted recovery of valuable resources from urine (ValueFromUrine)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,

The bio-electrochemically-assisted recovery of valuable resources from urine (ValueFromUrine) project will develop, optimize and evaluate an innovative bio-electrochemical system that allows for the recovery of phosphorus (P), ammonia (NH3) and electricity (E) or hydrogen from urine. The innovative principle is that biological oxidation of organics (present in urine) at a bio-anode drives both the ...

Bioelectrochemical systems for metal recovery (BIOELECTROMET)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,

Global primary metal resources are rapidly dwindling and the mining and metallurgical industries are increasingly turning to lower grade minerals for metal extraction, typically increasing costs. Innovative environmental metal extraction techniques are required to increase mining sustainability, increase revenues and lower its impact on the environment. In this project, bioelectrochemical technolo ...

Capacitive mixing as a novel principle for generation of clean renewable energy from salinity differences (CAPMIX)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

"Electricity can be generated by mixing salt water and fresh water in a controlled way. Salt water can be sea water and fresh water can be river water, so this technology can be used wherever a river flows into the sea. CAPMIX stands for capacitive mixing and is a new way of harvesting this potential power. The principal advantage of this technology is that the electricity generation is directly l ...

DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH ENERGY/HIGH POWER DENSITY SUPERCAPACITORS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS (AUTOSUPERCAP)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,

Supercapacitors are essential in electric vehicles for supplying power during acceleration and recovering braking energy. High power and sufficient energy density (per kilo) are required for both an effective power system but also to reduce weight. There are several issues to achieve a high performance/low weight power system that need to be addressed by various groups of scientists and engineer ...

PlantPower - Living plants in microbial fuel cells for clean, renewable, sustainable, efficient, in-situ bioenergy production (PlantPower)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,

Living plants in microbial fuel cells might be used as future large-scale Europe wide green energy providers. Such a system can produce in-situ 24 hours per day green electricity or biohydrogen without harvesting the plants. That this might become true was indicated by our first small scale proof of principle experiments describing the so called Plant Microbial Fuel Cell (Plant-MFC) (Strik, 2008, ...
