PRODEA
Founded in 2021, PRODEA DEPOLLUTING is a groundbreaking venture poised to revolutionize the technological landscape through innovative deep tech solutions.
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for innovation, our team is committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Together with our network of partners, we combine cutting-edge research with practical application to address some of the most pressing challenges faced by industries today, particularly air pollution.
PRODEA DEPOLLUTING’s expertise is built on solid experience and advanced training in materials science, air quality, industrial processes, and health.
We develop technological solutions designed to meet today’s challenges: preserving natural resources, contributing to greener mobility and sustainable production, combating health risks, and improving access to quality healthcare for all.
We support companies in reducing their environmental impact while protecting the health and well-being of their employees.
Our technological breakthrough in the field of non-thermal plasma is based on three key patents, involving high-performance electro-ceramic materials used as discharge barriers, as well as an innovative multi-zone reactor design.
Our solution is capable of safely treating all pollutants present in the air, while ensuring low-carbon, energy-efficient operation.
UNIPI
The scientific interests of the Institute for Chemical and Physical processes of the National Research Council (IPCF-CNR) centre around the study of condensed matter, touching aspects relevant to physics, chemistry and materials engineering. Such an intrinsically interdisciplinary activity is characterized by strong international competitiveness. Research objectives move from interests purely motivated by scientific curiosity, such as the understanding of the general mechanisms underlying phenomena of self-aggregation and self-organization responsible for the macroscopic properties of complex systems, and then turn to the design and characterization of materials for specific applications and technology transfer in strategic areas as sensors, environment, energy, health, aerospace, cultural heritage with major technological implications, such as: development of organic nanostructures and semiconductors for electronic and photovoltaic applications, development of sensors with plasmonic nanomaterials (SERS, TERS, TERS imaging, etc.), creation of materials with predetermined properties (mechanical, thermal, optical, magnetic, electrical).
In this framework, the “High-temperature Microwave-assisted processes and Dielectric characterization Lab” research group of IPCF-CNR (Pisa unit), led by Dr. Giuseppe Annino, has a long-standing experience in the development of microwave devices and techniques, and their application to materials characterization and processing which led, in the framework of two previous EU-funded projects, to the development of a unique worldwide pilot-scale Microwave-assisted Chemical Vapor Infiltration (MW-CVI) pilot plant.
