Abstract: The Serbia-China project addresses organic pollutant removal from industrial wastewater and the conversion of minerals to energy storage devices. Research spans understanding pollutant properties, adsorbent preparation from porous silicates, electro(chemical) oxidation-thermal degradation mechanism, and testing of obtained carbon/mineral composites in supercapacitors. The project delivers sustainable pollution control and green energy, impacting wastewater treatment and energy storage.

The budget for the Serbian SROs: 200,000 USD
