SOPHyE team
Separation, Oxidation, and Hybrid Processes for the Environment
Process Engineering and Sustainability Science
At the cross of process engineering and sustainability science, the research work of the team is based on the scientific skills of its members in separation and oxidation processes, environmental assessment and process eco-design, and has the following objectives:
- the development of knowledge of local phenomena at interfaces involved in membrane separation, chromatography and ozonation of complex fluids.
- the development of separation processes, reactions, hybrid or coupled processes, and processes that meet the environmental and sanitary challenges in the field of water and biomass valorization.
- the development of optimization and environmental analysis tools for unit operations, processes, and value chains in the field of water and bioeconomy.
To do this, we use experimental and modelling approaches at the most appropriate scale, to solve scientific problems and thus respond to environmental and societal issues.
Fields of application
Circular economy of water
- Water reuse pathways
- Treatment at the source and separationof water pollution
- Ecodesign of drinking water production systems
Water-energy nexus
- Integration of renewable energies in desalination processes

- Treatment/production systems for remote areas
Bioeconomy
- Processes and value chains for the valorisation of agro-resources ans residual biomasses
- Ecodesign of (bio)processes and value chains
- LCA and bioeconomy strategies for territories
