Notable Projects

• Development of a new selective leaching process with low environmental impact using the Peroxydisulfate ion (S2O82-) for gold and neodymium extraction from electrical and electronic waste.
• Steels development with nanostructured carbide-free bainite in the carbide layer and multiphase microstructure in the core for the manufacture of agriculture tools.
• Development of ceramic matrix composite biomaterials for cell growth platforms with controlled release of antibiotics, for applications such as bone implants.
• Nanostructured ceramic coatings deposited by thermal spraying— an alternative for replacing conventional technologies such as chrome plating.
