REUSE develops selective filtration materials to recover high-value polyphenols from coffee and olive oil wastewaters—and move water systems towards circularity.
ANR-25-W4A2-0001-01 · Water4All — Topic 3
REUSE addresses the environmental challenge posed by coffee and olive oil production wastewater. It explores selective materials capable of recovering valuable compounds while supporting water reuse and circular bioeconomy approaches.
Reduce the environmental impact of effluents with a high organic load.
Combine functionalised zeolites, organic receptors and porphyrin-based MOFs.
Recover polyphenols and contribute to more circular water-management systems.
Coffee and olive oil production generates significant volumes of wastewater. REUSE seeks to lower its environmental burden while capturing valuable phenolic compounds.
Reduce the organic burden of agro-industrial wastewater.
Capture phenolic and polyphenolic compounds with high added value.
Explore future reuse of treated water, including for agriculture.
Materials chemistry, filtration technology, analytical methods and sensor expertise converge to selectively capture compounds of interest.
Analyse wastewater and identify target compounds.
Develop selective zeolite- and MOF-based materials.
Combine adsorption and filtration to retain polyphenols.
Evaluate selectivity, collect compounds and inform the prototype.
Selective filtering materials combine zeolites with organic receptor coatings or use Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).
A multidisciplinary system joins materials chemistry, selective adsorption, filtration and sensing in one recovery pathway.
REUSE aims to produce both scientific knowledge and a prototype filtering system for polyphenol recovery.
Recovered phenolic and polyphenolic compounds are valuable antioxidants with potential applications in medicines and nutritional supplements.
The consortium brings together organic and analytical chemistry, porous materials, functional polymers, sensors and water-treatment expertise.
