The European project GestEAUr strengthens its contribution to scientific knowledge with the publication of an article in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, a scientific journal specialized in the field of chemical and environmental engineering.
The publication presents results derived from the work carried out within the framework of the project and demonstrates how GestEAUr is not only advancing the development of applied solutions for sustainable water management in rural areas (through pilot projects, a catalogue of solutions, and a digital tool), but is also contributing to expanding the scientific and technological knowledge base in this field.
The article is authored by Brian López-Campos, Raúl Sanz-Alonso, Rafael Granados-Fernández, Ismael Fernández-Mena, Cristina Sáez, Manuel A. Rodrigo, and Engracia Lacasa, researcher at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) and corresponding author of the scientific work developed within the project.
The study presents an innovative 3D-printed electrochemical reactor for the integrated generation and recovery of gaseous ozone. This compact prototype is capable of producing ozone through water electrolysis and recovering the generated gas for direct use as an oxidizing agent. The tests carried out evaluate its performance under different operating conditions and point to its potential application in decentralized water treatment.
The publication of this article marks a new milestone for GestEAUr, highlighting that the project is generating results with both practical and scientific impact, alongside the demonstration activities planned in different territories across the area.
GestEAUr, funded by the Interreg Sudoe programme, aims to contribute to more efficient, sustainable, and territorially adapted water management, particularly in rural areas where water-related challenges require innovative, feasible, and replicable solutions.
