green leaf on the hand
Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology and Shiv Nadar University in India, the largest food producer in the world, intend to produce and study cheap, elastic diamond sensors for detection of pesticides in the agricultural and food industry.

In November, a research team from the Department of Metrology and Optoelectronics at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, under the supervision of Robert Bogdanowicz, DSc, associate professor at Gdańsk Tech, visited Shiv Nadar University in Uttar Pradesh, one of the leading

Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology developed a pyrolysis reactor for industrial and municipal waste processing. It allows safe waste utilization and energy recovery in the form of syngas, and subsequently, recovery of hydrogen with purity level sufficient for application in e.g. urban buses or recovery of biochar for heating purposes. The authors of the technology – Prof. Boguslaw Kusz, PhD and Bartosz Trawinski, PhD, are co-founders of the W2H2 company, which acquired the rights to the commercial use of the technology and its development under a licensing agreement.

A pyrolyzer is a reactor which decomposes complex hydrocarbon materials into simple elements and compounds in an anaerobic annealing process at high temperatures. Pyrolysis of waste, using the technology developed at Gdańsk Tech, results in production of syngas which contains, among others, methane, carbon monoxide and a very large amount of hydrogen.
