Collaboration

The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) is collaborating with Z-ONA4LIFE to explore the potential of zeolites in gas adsorption applications. UPM's research team, focused on chemical engineering and catalysis, is investigating the use of Z-ONA4LIFE as an adsorbent within the framework of the PID2021-126499OB-I00 project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. By leveraging Z-ONA4LIFE's innovative zeolite technology, UPM aims to develop efficient and sustainable solutions for gas separation and purification, contributing to advancements in various industrial processes.

During the scientific conference "1st Conference on Zeolites > Sustainable Zeolites: Advances in Synthesis and Applications" D. Danilo Jara Echeverría from UPM presented the communication "Adsorption of sulphur dioxide on porous materials developed from municipal solid waste incineration fly ash".

In September 2025, Jaime Casas Ortiz presented his undergraduate thesis titled “Adsorption of Pollutant Gases Using Zeolites Obtained from Industrial Waste”. This work, carried out within the framework of the Z-ONA4LIFE project, demonstrated that Z-ONA zeolite can be effectively used as an adsorbent for cleaning gases contaminated with SO₂.
