Entity profile The Structure and Chemistry of Nanomaterials group at the University of Cádiz

(Spain) is a consolidated research team encompassing researchers with a more than 20 years long experience in the fields of Materials Chemistry, Electron Microscopy and Catalysis. In this period, the group has focused its activities on the synthesis and structural characterization of nanoparticle‐based materials. Particularly, the group has a strong, internationally recognized, expertise in the application of Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques to the atomic scale analysis of nanoparticles, both from the structural and chemical points of view. Thus, the group has gathered a number of top‐quality experts in the application, to this very specific type of materials, of the most relevant Transmission (TEM) and Scanning‐Transmission (STEM) techniques like High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Atomic resolution High Angle Annular Dark Field Imaging (HAADF), Electron Enery Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), Atomically Resolved Chemical Imaging, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (X‐EDS) or Electron Tomography. On the basis of this group of experts, which also hold a complementary solid background in a wide spectrum of other macroscopic structural and chemical characterization techniques (e.g., EPR, XAFS, XPS, FTIR, XRD, Thermal Analysis techniques coupled to GC and MS, physi‐ and chemisorption techniques) as well as in different techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials and their testing as catalysts in a wide range of reactions, we are prepared to develop research tasks

9

aimed at developing novel nanomaterials, analyzing the scientific basis of synthesis‐structure‐function relationships as well as testing nanomaterials for applications in catalysis. Though most of our experience is related with catalytic nanomaterials, recently we have started to explore applications of nanoparticles in the field of biomedicine, in particular in different topics linked with ferritins. Currently the group is constituted by 7 Dr´s (4 of them permanent staff) in Chemistry and 5 PhD students with access, both through proprietary elements and University Facilities, to a large variety of equipment: 3 TEMs, 3 SEMs and 2 labs fully equipped with techniques for textural, structural, and chemical analysis of the bulk and surface of nano‐materials. This is complemented by both pieces of software and hardware facilities (workstations and a Super‐computing Cluster for very intensive calculations in Electron Microscopy and Dynamic Quantum Chemistry calculations as applied to nanomaterials). Such consolidated experience, human capital and equipment combination provides a great research potential in the fields of Material Science, Materials Chemistry and Materials Characterization. The group has been involved and still currently developing a large number of Projects funded by regional, national, European and other international programs. Among the most recent we should highlight the participation in 3 Projects of the Andalusia Science Foundation Program for Excellence groups; 1 Project of the Spanish Science Foundation CONSOLIDER‐INGENIO 2010 Excellence Program; 1 Project of the Spanish Science Foundation within the Program for National Consolidated Research Groups (Type C‐ Project within the Materials Science Priority National Program) and, finally, the Integrated Research Infrastructure (IR3) Project within EU FP6 ESTEEM (Enalbling Science and Technology through European Electron Microscopy). The development of these projects has allowed the group establishing a highly diversified network of collaborations with national and international groups in Europe and USA, both in the academic and industrial environments.

Our research capacities encompass:

Synthesis of nanoparticle based materials (metals and oxides)

2D and 3D Atomic Scale Characterization of nanomaterials by Advanced Electron Microscopy techniques: with applications in catalysis and biomedicine

Chemical characterization of nanomaterials (bulk and surface chemistry); strong experience in characterization of redox properties.

Expertise offered (related to the

CTAP provides a wide experience in the study and development of composites of different materials, which may be used in the construction sector. The starting

41

topic) guidelines are focused on materials in relation with natural and artificial stone. In this way, we have worked characterizing artificial stone (natural aggregate + resin / cement + additives) and developing cements, mortars grip and composites for tiling stone in construction. The CTAP research team, composed by chemists, geologists and engineers, is also studying new materials based on wastes from processing of natural stone, in direct cooperation with stone companies. The project called New Stone Composite (NSC) conducted during the last 2 years is one of such examples. Taking advantage of the waste generated in the processing of natural stone, we have studied the creation of a new material, mixing the waste with resins and other additives. Different resins have been developed with higher mechanical strength to withstand the processes of cutting and post‐processing the final product. Also, we have studied changes in glass transition temperatures (Tg) and rheology with different additives and fillers, as well as their curing processes and industrial implementation. To develop these lines, CTAP has its own laboratories (physical, chemical and mechanical) as well as a laboratory for characterization and development of resins and polymers in collaboration with the University of Almería. CTAP also has an Experimental Plant for the implementation of research results to industrial scale (pilot plant).

Role in the project




Entity profile Fundación INNOVARCILLA, created in April 2005, is the company that manages the

Technologic Center for Ceramics in Andalusia. INNOVARCILLA is supported by 45 partners, of which 32 are ceramic companies (SMEs) and 13 are public institutions. The activities of INNOVARCILLA are specialized at innovation and services for ceramic industries of both structural and decorative ceramics, mainly based on fired clay. INNOVARCILLA promotes the exchange of knowledge, innovation and technology between research centres and industry and displays a high level of consulting skills in quality control of materials, design, environment protection and research on materials. INNOVARCILLA’s annual budget in 2009 was 1,1 M€ and some of the latest Projects carried out by the company are listed below: EFIKER: Optimization of energy consumption during fired clay processing (2011‐2012) ‐ Optimization of energy costs (25‐40 % of total cost of ceramic products) ‐ Valorization of organic wastes releasing a high calorific value during ceramic firing ‐ Reutilization of hot evacuation gases in chimney OPAC: Improvement of acoustic and thermal insulation of structural ceramic products for building. 2010‐2012 Development and validation of a model and software to predict the acoustic and thermal behaviour of structural ceramics and development of ceramic foams as Insulating materials.

45

ALCOMPAS: Implementation of innovative methodologies for SMEs assistance (2010) ‐ Identification of SMEs needs in different construction clusters ‐ Searching strategic alliances and cooperation projects ‐ Database containing key information for SMEs support Funded by: Spanish Ministry of Industry IPROD: Analysis of production control in the ceramic sector and development of software (2007‐2010) ‐ Development of an specific software for structural ceramic companies to control: Production, Yield, Costs, Preventive maintenance. ‐ Technical supoort of factories through the optimization of drying and firing cycles during ceramics processing, pollution measurement in chimneys and sound insulation measurement Viability of industrial reuse of ceramic wastes. 2009. Profiting from recycling ceramic wastes into different kind of materials and processing: plastics, resins, etc. Also by the incorporation of ceramic wastes as elements for garden and landscape design. Improvement of ceramic products by using natural resources and industrial by‐products. 2008. The aim of this Project was the recycling of different kind of wastes into ceramics. This allowed the optimization of materials properties, to reduce or remove environmental problems and the economic valuation of wastes. The use of some wastes has been implanted in structural ceramic companies. Physical Properties of Clay. 2007. Physical and technologic characterization of the main clays used by the andalusian ceramic industry in order to improve mixture formulation for different kind of products. In addition, around 30 Projects have been performed since 2007 for both regional and national ceramic companies


There are several developments about CO2 capture systems and also about algae culture in order to produce different kinds of chemicals. However, these technological developments usually are not joined. INNOVARCILLA offers its participation in Projects related to this topic as a Research Organization specialized in industrial research and, thus, with ability to introduce both technologies, CO2 capture and algae culture, in ceramic industry. Therefore, the CO2 appreciation process would involve the construction of those facilities necessary to feed algae by CO2 captured through chemical absortion (or similar) from ceramic industries. The resulting biomass from CO2 capture and algae culture could be used to produce intermediate energy carriers, biofuel, bioethanol, methanol, fertilizers, nutritional complexes or even antibiotics. In particular, a transesterification process could be used to produce biofuels from algal oil. The by‐product of this process, glycerine, can be digested and purified to produce methanol (>95%), that can also provide energy to the ceramic factories. The amount of CO2 emitted by a standard ceramic company (a production of approximately 200 ton/day of ceramic materials) can be as high as 45000 ton/year, whereas CO2 emissions rights for such medium‐sized companies (period 2008‐2013) rise to 13750 ton/year.

The main strengths of INNOVARCILLA are the study and characterization of emissions in chimneys through isocinetic sampling and later gas analysis and the

46

involvement of the Andalusian ceramic companies in those Projects coordinated by INNOVARCILLA. Therefore, INNOVARCILLA would perform demostrative activities using CO2 emitted by ceramic industries as a raw material in algae culture to produce biodiesel or fine chemicals. In addition, INNOVARCILLA also counts on a large experience of dissemination of results to the Spanish ceramic sector.

Role in the project





(Spain) is a consolidated research team encompassing researchers with a more than 20 years long experience in the fields of Materials Chemistry, Electron Microscopy and Catalysis. In this period, the group has focused its activities on the synthesis and structural characterization of nanoparticle‐based materials. Particularly, the group has a strong, internationally recognized, expertise in the application of Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques to the atomic scale analysis of nanoparticles, both from the structural and chemical points of view. Thus, the group has gathered a number of top‐quality experts in the application, to this very specific type of materials, of the most relevant Transmission (TEM) and Scanning‐Transmission (STEM) techniques like High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Atomic resolution High Angle Annular Dark Field Imaging (HAADF), Electron Enery Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), Atomically Resolved Chemical Imaging, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (X‐EDS) or Electron Tomography. On the basis of this group of experts, which also hold a complementary solid background in a wide spectrum of other macroscopic structural and chemical characterization techniques (e.g., EPR, XAFS, XPS, FTIR, XRD, Thermal Analysis techniques coupled to GC and MS, physi‐ and chemisorption techniques) as well as in different techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials and their testing as catalysts in a wide range of reactions, we are prepared to develop research tasks aimed at developing novel nanomaterials, analyzing the scientific basis of

59

synthesis‐structure‐function relationships as well as testing nanomaterials for applications in catalysis. Though most of our experience is related with catalytic nanomaterials, recently we have started to explore applications of nanoparticles in the field of biomedicine, in particular in different topics linked with ferritins. Currently the group is constituted by 7 Dr´s (4 of them permanent staff) in Chemistry and 5 PhD students with access, both through proprietary elements and University Facilities, to a large variety of equipment: 3 TEMs, 3 SEMs and 2 labs fully equipped with techniques for textural, structural, and chemical analysis of the bulk and surface of nano‐materials. This is complemented by both pieces of software and hardware facilities (workstations and a Super‐computing Cluster for very intensive calculations in Electron Microscopy and Dynamic Quantum Chemistry calculations as applied to nanomaterials). Such consolidated experience, human capital and equipment combination provides a great research potential in the fields of Material Science, Materials Chemistry and Materials Characterization. The group has been involved and still currently developing a large number of Projects funded by regional, national, European and other international programs. Among the most recent we should highlight the participation in 3 Projects of the Andalusia Science Foundation Program for Excellence groups; 1 Project of the Spanish Science Foundation CONSOLIDER‐INGENIO 2010 Excellence Program; 1 Project of the Spanish Science Foundation within the Program for National Consolidated Research Groups (Type C‐ Project within the Materials Science Priority National Program) and, finally, the Integrated Research Infrastructure (IR3) Project within EU FP6 ESTEEM (Enalbling Science and Technology through European Electron Microscopy). The development of these projects has allowed the group establishing a highly diversified network of collaborations with national and international groups in Europe and USA, both in the academic and industrial environments.

Process automation is a very interesting work line for the processing industry of natural stone, from the extraction process to the end point, ie the placing on the market of the finished product. CTAP has experience in developing highly automated manufacturing processes using as raw material subproducts derived from the natural stone industry, with the aim of generating new materials with high added value and technological content. For example, the project called TARSIA, in which we have developed a new material. It is based on a fully automated manufacturing process so that from low esthetic quality stone fragments, under successive stacking, gluing and cutting processes yields a mosaic of stone. As the result of this work, we have developed patents for new products and manufacturing methods. It is important to note that CTAP can bring knowledge and experience in each step of the production and process optimization. To achieve this goal CTAP has industrial process engineers and computer scientists who work directly with the companies in factories, acquiring knowledge to solve the companies’ problems in‐situ. CTAP has one of the best infrastructures in the area, consisting of an industrial laboratory to conduct applied research to industrial and generate results directly applicable to companies.
