Ceracasa ceramica participated in a seminar on construction solutions to reduce air pollution.

Last 20th June an interesting seminar took place in Madrid, in the School of Civil Engineering, about air quality of our cities and the different solutions available to reduce air pollution, such as photocatalysis.

The seminar was organized by AIF, the Iberian Association of Photocatalysis, formed by big companies in various sectors, among which is Ceracasa. AIF has the support of scientific members such as EPTISA, ICP, AIDICO, ITQ, Tecnalia, CARTIF TECHNOLOGY CENTRE and other institutions that provide great value to the process of photocatalysis in the construction and rehabilitation.

The photocatalysis starts from the natural principle of decontamination of nature by eliminating most common pollutants by an oxidation process activated by sun energy.

Through photocatalysis, some of the pollutants as common as harmful existing in our cities can be eliminated: nitrogen oxides NOx, nitric acid, HNO3, O3, SOx, VOCs, CO, methyl mercaptan, chlorinated organic compounds and poly aromatics compounds.

The symposium was attended by leading speakers, and was coordinated by EPTISA: they all provided solutions and diverse opinions on this important topic.

Fran Raya from CERACASA, as Vice President of AIF's external relations, gave an interesting presentation on applications of decontaminating products called "The Photocatalytic Island".

Ceracasa counts among its ceramic product range with Bionictile®, a porcelain wall covering with photocatalytic properties, " ceramic facade which decontaminates the air", which has earned the company more than a dozen awards, both nationally and internationally.

CERACASA: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS WITH PHOTOCATALYTIC MATERIALS

The spanish company CERACASA participated in a panel about sustainable solutions with photocatalytic materials.

The meeting was held during this year’s edition of CONSTRUMAT fair in Barcelona (Spain). Fran Raya, Marketing and Product Director at CERACASA, delivered the paper “Photocatalytic Island in an Urban Environment”, a sustainable, real and proactive solution for reducing air pollution.

During the panel debate, members exposed the views, problems and scientific, constructive and political solutions to air pollution, a major problem in our cities. Participants analyzed the Photocatalysis applied to building materials as a solution to NOx air pollution.

CERACASA is a founding member of the Iberian Photocatalysis Association (AIF). AIF gathers companies from different sectors which provide photocatalytic building materials, as well as organizations and bodies with the aim to promote reduction of air pollution through proactive and sustainable systems.
