Inmaculada Ortiz and Miguel Guate attended the Congreso Nacional del Agua, celebrated in Orihuela (Alicante, Spain), on February 21-22, 2019. During the congress, Inmaculada Ortiz participated as invited lecturer in the session “Depuración, reutilización y desalinización”, with a conference entitled “Recuperación de energía a partir de salmueras”. Miguel presented his work “Eliminación de nitritos de aguas contaminadas mediante el empleo de un reactor catalítico de fibras huecas”.

Felipe Eduardo Olea Chandi, student of the Master in Engineering Sciences of the University of Santiago de Chile is developing a research internship in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department of the University of Cantabria.

During his stay, from February 11 to March 15, 2019, he will work in the selective separation of lantanides, cerium and lanthanum, using membrane contactors, as part of his research in the frame of final master project.

This research internship is financed by the project “Dicyt – Equipo multidisciplinario de procesos para la recuperación de tierras raras” of the University of Santiago de Chile, leaded by Prof. Esteban Quijada, and “Diseño de un proceso de separación con agentes quelantes para la recuperación de metales de corrientes residuales”, leaded by is Dr. Eugenio Bringas, who will also supervise the work of Felipe Eduardo during the internship.

Prof. Vicente Montiel, from the Applied Electrochemistry Institute of the University of Alicante, delivered the conference “Electroquímica y acumulación de energía eléctrica”, in the Sala de Grados of the ETSIIT of the University of Cantabria.

Prof. Raquel Ibáñez was interviewed by Gema Matanzas on the radio program “La Vida por Delante”, of the local radio “Radio Santoña”, on the occassion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

You can listen to her from 05:45 min to 14:47 min.
