معرفی
Javier Remón Núñez serves as a Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the University of Zaragoza, affiliated with the Aragon Engineering Research Institute (I3A) and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technologies. He leads innovative research within the Thermochemical Processes Group (GPT), focusing on sustainable chemical engineering solutions for pressing environmental challenges.
His primary research interests include:
- Thermochemical processes for waste valorization
- Production of biofuels through hydrothermal treatment
- Valorization of diverse waste streams including agri-food residues, plastic waste, and marine debris
- Hydrogen production from waste streams with CO2 capture
- Innovative use of seawater as a reaction medium in thermochemical processes
- Sustainable approaches to managing plastic pollution
Dr. Remón's research demonstrates a strategic approach to developing processes that are less dependent on specific raw materials, with particular emphasis on exploring synergistic effects between different waste streams to create more flexible and sustainable valorization systems. His notable work during the pandemic combined almond pericarp waste with face mask plastic using seawater as a reaction medium, discovering that seawater's dissolved salts provided self-catalytic properties.
As an educator, he teaches multiple courses including Environmental Management in Industry, Chemistry, Combustion Science and Technology, Team Project for Membrane Engineering, Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Experimentation II, Food Industry Processes, Industrial Chemical Processes, and Environmental Engineering across various undergraduate and master's programs.
