Next June 17, Cecilia Polizzi will present her Doctoral Thesis, developed as a joint thesis between the GENOCOV group of the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering and the University of Florence.

Researchers from the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering are coordinating the European RECYCLES project, which will work towards the enhancement of the technical, economic and environmental viability of waste treatment facilities by exploiting and integrating the carbon, sulphur and nitrogen cycles. The RECYCLES project aims to innovate in biotechnologies and solutions to enhance solid-liquid-gas wastes treatment and resource recovery for a subsequent combination of these innovative biological processes to reduce energy requirements in waste treatment facilities.
