Laura Pastor Alcañiz

Laura Pastor Alcañiz is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the School of Engineering, Universitat de València. Her research is conducted within the CALAGUA-UV Research Group on Environmental Technologies, focusing on sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery processes.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of chemical and environmental engineering, particularly in the recovery of valuable resources such as phosphorus from wastewater. Using chemical precipitation techniques like struvite formation, her work contributes to sustainable nutrient management and circular economy approaches in water treatment.

Laura earned her PhD from Universitat Politècnica de València in 2008 with a thesis on phosphorus recovery from wastewater as struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), supervised by Dr. José Ferrer Polo and Dr. Aurora Seco Torrecillas. Her expertise supports the development of environmentally sound and resource-efficient engineering solutions.

The analysis of her research focus reveals a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, particularly in the domain of urban water systems and nutrient recovery. Her work aligns with global efforts to close resource loops in wastewater management.
