April 2024 - Workshop on Cyrcular Economy
UBU's workshop on Circular Economy. Our Spanish partner ICCRAM - University of Burgos toured six villages of Burgos to present success stories related to this economic model and take the opportunity to address the WORLD project.

New paper published
POLIMI and UNISS units presented a joint paper on the journal Materials addressing how small structural differences in similar bentonites can affect the pour point of the recycled vegetable oil. Here the link to the paper.
October 2024
Today, Pablo Almendras Flores, master student in Chemical Engineering discussed his thesis titled "Recycling and Valorization of Waste Cooking Oils: Process Optimization, Sustainability Assessment, and Industrial Applications", carried out under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Mele and Dr. Alberto Mannu within the WORLD project.

New paper published
Within a collaboration between POLIMI and UNISS, a chemical fingerprint derived from spectroscopical RAMAN analyses was obtained for the classification of different used vegetable oils. The Study was published on the journal Waste Management and Research and can be found at this link.
Midterm meeting
On July 5 2023, the Politecnico di Milano will host the WORLD midterm meeting. All the partners involved into the WORLD project will update eachother about the advancements of the project.
World 4 Business
On July 4 2023, the Politecnico di Milano will host the World4Business workshop. A day of seminars and roundtables focused on circular economy, sustainability and on the presentation of the project WORLD to several stakeholders.Herein the link of the event with the relative agenda.https://indico.chem.polimi.it/event/68/

New paper published
The recycling of Waste Cooking Oils through treatment employing different adsorbents has been investigated. Both the nature of the powders and the specific adsorption procedure have been object of research giving further insights toward the optimization of the overall process of regeneration. The work is available HERE and it is the result of a collaboration between the partners Politecnico di Milano, Mannu Consulting, University of Sassari, and the University Djillali LIABES.

Dissemination Activity
Thorugh an article in the Italian newspaper "Il sole 24 ore", one of the most read newspaper in Italy, we present the general purposes of the project WORLD to a very large public.
20 June 2022
Dissemination Activity
Dr. Maria Enrica Di Pietro from the Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with Dr. Alberto Mannu (mannuconsulting) has carried out an important dissemination activity directed to the students of the highschool "Torricelli" in Milan. After some theoretical lessons about the main analytical techniques employed for waste cooking oil characterization, a laboratory training directed to some selected students from the chemistry class was conducted. Thus, waste cooking oil samples, were recycled to obtain some biolubricant. Click HERE to visit the poster done by the students.

New paper published
Within a collaboration with the Djillali Liabès University (Algeria) and the Department of Chemistry of the University of Sassari (Italy), we studied the possibility to employ bentonite-type clays for the recycling of Used Vegetable Oils. The research open to the possibility to tune many physical parameters of regenerated vegetable oils employing natural and sustainable adsorbents. Click HERE for access to the original manuscript.
