USE OF NANOMATERIALS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS

Objective

The aim of the joint research programme is to study nanomaterials for environmental and agricultural applications. The global objectives of this project will be: 1. to synthesize and characterize low cost nanomaterials such as layered double hydroxides (LDHs) or fine grained poorly crystalline Fe-Al or Fe-Mn oxides. These nanomaterials will be used in native form and complexed with an organic matrix, named polymerin, recovered from olive mill wastewaters (OMW); 2. to study the behavior of nanomaterials for retention of pesticides and biophenols and to develop slow-release formulations of these chemicals, with particular emphasis on assessing their bioavailability; 3. to totally detoxify OMW through fractionation on nanomaterials.
