Madrid Institute of Materials Science (ICMM-CSIC)
The Madrid Institute of Materials Science is a leading research institute in Materials Science belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). It is a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, a distinction that accredits its scientific leadership and high impact contributions to materials research. Within HALZEOCAT-CM, the project involves the Nanostructured, Biohybrid and Porous Materials Group (NHBPM), which has extensive expertise in:
- zeolite synthesis,
- development of advanced porous materials,
- design of ultraporous zeolites,
- advanced oxidation processes,
- and structural characterization of functional materials.
The group has contributed to the discovery and development of several new zeolite frameworks with potential applications in catalysis and separation processes.
Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)
Universidad Autónoma de Madrid participates through the SUNFLOW research group, which specializes in heterogeneous catalysis and advanced oxidation processes for environmental and energy applications. Its main research activities include:
- development of catalytic materials,
- advanced water treatment processes,
- photocatalysis and advanced oxidation processes,
- and reaction engineering for environmental remediation.
Complementarity of the Consortium
HALZEOCAT-CM is built upon the collaboration between two highly complementary research teams. While ICMM-CSIC provides expertise in the design and synthesis of ultraporous zeolites, the UAM team contributes extensive experience in catalysis, pollutant degradation processes, and reaction system evaluation. The integration of these complementary capabilities enables the development of advanced materials and their application to sustainable technologies for the removal of persistent pollutants.
Associated Institutions
The project also benefits from scientific collaborations with national and international institutions, including:
- Nanjing University
- Johns Hopkins University
- Arizona State University
- Pohang University of Science and Technology
- Aarhus University
- University of Adelaide
- Universidad de Sevilla
- Universitat Politècnica de València
These collaborations strengthen the multidisciplinary and international nature of the project.
