Winners of the Environmental Award 2006 by the Catalan Government

What is AMIC?

AMIC is an innovation centre belonging to the Technological Innovation Network created by the Catalan Autonomous Government. AMIC offers key-in-hand solutions for environmental and industrial problems of the productive sectors.

Technology

AMIC has wide experience in catalytic reactions such as:

hydrogenation
dehydrogenation
oxidation
hydrodechloration
isomerization

etc.

Solutions

Solutions to environmental problems, such as
- removal of organic matter of industrial effluents
- removal of halogenated organic compounds of industrial effluents
- removal of nitrates/nitrites from water
Solutions to open new routes for obtaining products of interest for fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other industrial sectors, by means of selective oxidation, hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, isomerization, condensation and any other catalytic reaction.
Solutions based on natural or modified materials with selected properties for specific applications.

Distinguished projects

Study of the feasibility of application of magmolècules for the elimination of radioactive compounds of waters of refrigeration of the nuclear power stations.

Study in pilot plant of the elimination of nitrates and nitrites through the technology of selective catalytic hydrogenation for the recovery of hydric resources polluted with these pollutants.
