The LIFE-AQUEMFREE project was present with an oral communication at the 6^th International Conference on Semiconductor Photochemistry held in Oldenburg (Germany) between 11^th and 14^th September.

Scientists from IMIDA, the University of Murcia (UMU) and the San Antonio Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM) presented a piece of work entitled ‘Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of different pesticides in agro-waste water at pilot plant scale under natural sunlight‘.

The work covers degradation of 5 pesticides found in waste water from farms by means of the Aquemfree system and using titanium dioxide, an oxidising agent and sunlight.
