VALENCIA ZERO CARBON ENCAPSULATED IRON NANOPARTICLES At Smallops we produce carbon-encapsulated zero-valent iron nanoparticles from olive oil residues, using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) techniques. This technique allows the creation of nanoparticles at a low cost compared to other techniques for the production of metallic nanoparticles. In addition, we obtain a product with up to 6 environmental applications.

At Smallops we seek innovative solutions to face climate change through nanotechnology. We are a determined and like-minded team who share the same vision to succeed. We believe that our technology has the potential to revolutionize the industry.

Smallops' low-cost production method makes it feasible to use these nanoparticles in multiple activities. Its magnetic characteristics and its carbonaceous matrix make it an ideal product for water treatment, biogas production and its use as fertilizers.
