Catalytic Processes and Waste Valorization

Research Group

PROCAT-VARES research group works on the proposal, progress and innovation of processes of energy and environmental interest. The aim is to develop, at an international leading level, lines of research in Chemical Reaction Engineering that are up-to-date and focused on sustainable development. The development of this activity involves the training of researchers and technologists, the transmission of knowledge to the international scientific-technological community in the form of publications and collaboration with the industrial sector, on issues that combine academic, technological, social and industrial interest.

New paper in Chem. Eng. Sci

We are glad to present one of our last publications, in Chemical Engineering Science, entitled "A novel alternative method for pistachio nuts splitting using conical spouted beds". Hydrodynamic runs have been conducted to ascertain the configurations that are suitable for low temperature batch drying and splitting of pistachio nuts. The results show that a single cycle of wetting, drying and cooling of pistachio nuts allows attaining splitting percentages of up to 35%.
