Natalia Garcia Domenech (October 2017 – December 2021)The main goal of this project is to develop new membranes which are based on 2D nanomaterials for nanofiltration (NF) and the upgrading of gasification products. The technical objectives include:

Preparation and testing of membranes based on oxidised BN (BNOx).
Preparation and testing of BNOx – LDH (layered double hydroxide) based hybrid membranes.
Preparation and testing of BN-Fe3O4 based hybrid membranes.Publications:N. García Doménech, F. Purcell-Milton, Casasín García ML, M Ward, MB Cabré, A Rafferty, K McKelvey, P Dunne, Y.K.
