GREENWAT
Project name:
“Carbonaceous materials from wastes – proficient tools for water decontamination”
Funded by: UEFISCDI – Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation (UEFISCDI)
5.1 – IDEI Program – Exploratory Research Projects
Contract no. 83PCE/01.07.2025
Project coordinator: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLITEHNICA BUCHAREST – UNSTPB
UNSTPB Project Director: Prof. Dr. Habil. Chem. Ecaterina Matei
Project value: 1,147,368 lei
Project value from other sources: 0 lei
Implementation duration: 36 months (2025–2028)
Project objective:
The project is based on the three principles of the circular economy: (i) elimination of waste and pollution, (ii) redesign of products and/or materials using the 3R concept (reduce, recycle, reuse), and (iii) conservation of natural resources. Various types of waste will be transformed into valuable materials used as adsorbents, ion exchangers, or photocatalysts for the removal of water pollutants (EP and HM). This project helps to minimize waste quantities by transforming vegetable and industrial waste into eco-friendly carbon magnetic materials with nanostructures (GREENWAT materials).
