As part of Work Package 2, SEArcularMINE partners are looking for ways to improve the extraction of salt and other elements from bittern solutions.
News & Events
SEArcularMINE partners UNIPA have made good progress in their research on crystallization (part of WP3). Focusing on crystallization of Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), the team has successfully applied a novel colorimetric technique to infer the crystallization kinetics of the compound. These data provide fundamental insights that can be applied to the design of novel Magnesium crystallisers.
Within Task 6.2, the UNIPA and UPC team have been exploring the recovery of additional minerals from exhausted bittern solutions from saltworks using Electrodialysis with Bipolar Membranes (EDBM) technology.
SEArcularMINE project partners have made great progress with characterising bitterns from 15 saltworks located in 8 countries in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean
In celebration of International Women in Science Day, we are proud to recognize the talented women who are applying their skills to the SEArcularMINE project.
SEArcularMINE project partners, Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnologica (IBET) presented their research at the International Congress on Membranes & Membrane Processes (ICOM 2020, in December 2020).
