  Proposals for Thesis

THE PROPOSED PROJECTS FOLLOW THE AGENDA 2030 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

WASTE WATERS TREATMENT AND REUSE
- Kinetics of the phytoremediation of different waste waters (urban, domestic, leachate, etc) in decentralised networks
- Identification of parameters and methodologies for the estimation of the performance of a treatment plant
- Reuse of waste waters for agriculture and groundwater recharge

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
- Sustainable leachate treatment with low cost technologies
- Semi-aerobic landfilling and innovative management in tropical countries
- Community based solution: urban eco-centers for the informal recovery of waste

WASTE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
- Management and recovery of organic waste for the production of the biopolymer precursors
- Environmental Engineering for sustainable building: decentralised networks, reuse of the recycled building materials, recovery of the abandoned and degraded areas
- Recovery and valorisation of specific waste, in the framework of the circular economy
- BES- Back to Earth Site: the geological repository to close the material cycle

BLUE ECONOMY SOLUTIONS
Solutions for water and waste treatment with recovery of resources according to blue economy principles (Gunter Pauli, 2010)

Some of the thesis are shared with foreigner universities: Tsinghua university in Beijing (China), KHULNA university in Bangladesh, university of Biskra in Algeria, Durban university KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, the university Louis Berger in Saint Louis in Senegal.
