Noelia Blanco Perez

Senior Technician in Environmental Chemistry (2000) and senior Technician in Agro-Food Industries (2002). I have been working at Fundación Leia C.D.T and Tecnalia Research & Innovation since 2003 as a Laboratory Senior Technician in the operational unit TECU: Energetic Climate and Urban Transition, Circularity Area in the Circularity Area of TECNALIA, in the Bioeconomy and CO2 research platform.

The projects in which I have participated are framed in the synthesis of organic compounds from biomass, synthesis of bio-monomers for the manufacture of polymers and development of catalytic processes, as well as the synthesis of new adsorbents for the purification of biogas and extraction of lignin through the use of switchable solvents.
Development of new environmental technologies (applied to water, air, soil...), synthesis of new products derived from renewable raw materials (mainly sugars and vegetable oils).

Extensive experience in different analytical techniques for the characterization of chemical products such as HPLC (UV, IR detectors), GC-MS, GC-FID, GPC (IR), Micro-GC (four channels for online gas analysis ), Karl-Fischer, UV-VIS spectrometry, FTIR.

Inventor of 2 patents.
