Nanomaterials for the Detection and Removal of Wastewater Pollutants

Barbara Bonelli is Associate Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Applied Science and Technology and INSTM Unit of Torino Politecnico at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Her research focuses on the synthesis and physico-chemical characterization of nanomaterials to be used for adsorption, catalysis and photocalysis, as well as for environmental remediation. Francesca S Freyria is a Marie-Skłodowska-Curie fellow in the Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Her research focuses on the development of innovative catalytic and photocatalytic mesoporous materials for the abatement of pollutants in wastewater and on luminescent solar heterostructures for artificial photosynthesis. Ilenia Rossetti is Associate Professor of Chemical Industrial Plants at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Milan, Italy. Her research focuses on the design of chemical plants, reactors and heterogeneous catalytic processes. Rajandrea Sethi is Professor in the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering, Polytechnic University of Torino, Italy. He is the head of Groundwater Engineering Group and his studies focus on flow and contaminant transport modelling, colloidal transport in porous media, groundwater monitoring, development of novel environmental reclamation technologies, and environmental nanotechnologies.
