Sustainable Chemistry Webinar | Sustainable Materials for Wastewater Treatment, 16 July 2025

Welcome message from the webinar Chair, Dr. Francesca Deganello:

This webinar is jointly organized by the Sustainable Chemistry journal (MDPI) & the INTEGRANO Project, with me and Dr. Ilaria Zanoni (CNR-ISSMC, Italy) as chairs. This event brings together leading experts to discuss how cutting-edge research on sustainable materials is a major boon to the water purification sector and our future.

Webinar topics include:

Green materials for membrane filtration;
Microalgae as natural agents for wastewater cleaning;
Innovative solvent platforms for membrane preparation.

We propose three presentations (with relative Q&A sections):

Vittorio Boffa, from Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark, will present his research work about “Sustainable Materials for Membrane Filtration Technologies”;
Simonetta Pancaldi and Costanza Baldisserotto will share the second presentation, which is entitled “Microalgae for Wastewater Cleaning”—University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy;
Francesca Russo—CNR-ITM, Rende, Italy, will speak about “New Solvent Platforms for Membrane Preparation in Wastewater Treatment”.

Date: 16 July 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CEST | 4.00 a.m. EDT | 4.00 p.m. CST Asia
