Indeed, the considered techniques for coupling are adsorption, catalysis, photo-catalysis and plasma technologies. UMONS is an expert in pilot development and pollutants abatement by adsorption technique, University of Namur (UNamur) is an expert in material synthesis and photo-catalysis technique, University of Lille (ULille) is an expert in oxygenated VOC abatement by catalysis, University of Littoral-C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale (ULCO) is an expert in VOC abatement by catalysis and University of Ghent (UGent) is an expert in plasma technology. Three different couplings will be studied in the project: \u201cAdsorption-Catalysis\u201d, \u201cPlasma-Catalysis\u201d and \u201cAdsorption-Photo-catalysis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To respond to industrial and local authority needs, we have to complete these studies by real on-site measurements of pollutant emissions (ULCO).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the proposed abatement techniques must fit into sustainable development and be safe in terms of toxicology, without creation of any molecule with toxic impact for humans at short and medium terms. Consequently, toxicology studies will be performed by ULCO in order to validate the developed processing techniques.<\/p>\n<p>This project aims at accompanying cross-border companies in an environmental and sustainable approach to propose adapted and innovative solutions for VOC treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Two industrial partners \u2013 one in France (TIM) and one in Belgium (Volvo) \u2013 will be involved at each step of the project (from VOC emission to solution).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-286 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.umons.ac.be\/app\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2018\/03\/DEPOLUTAIR-PARTENAIRES.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"101\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit our website :\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gotos3.eu\/fr\/projecten\/depollutair\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.gotos3.eu\/fr\/projecten\/depollutair\/home<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Recherches \/ Onderzoeken DepollutAir-Interreg-UMONS\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qzUOQrxGCE8?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Other videos related to the\u00a0<em>DepollutAir<\/em>\u00a0project and VOC treatments are available on the YouTube channel:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCBtRU7N17YElL9t-UQMSuUw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VOC-Prevention-Remediation-Interreg<\/a><\/p>\n            \t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"accordion-inner\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-bellow\">\n                <button class=\"accordion-bellow-toggle scheme-background-hover\" data-target=\"#accordion-content-693be07e846de\">\n                    <span class=\"icon umons-icon-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span> RESIZED (EU\/FP7\/ERA-Chair)                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n            <div id=\"accordion-content-693be07e846de\" class=\"accordion-content\">\n            \t<div class=\"inner editor-front\">\n            \t\t<p>The ENERGY Institute of UMONS is one of the winners of the\u00a0<strong>ERA Chairs<\/strong>\u00a0call for projects launched by the European Commission in 2013.
