Patricia Córdoba Sola
Description
Patricia completed her PhD at IDAEA-CSIC in 2013, focusing on the partitioning and fate of trace elements in full-scale power plants equipped with wet limestone flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems. Her expertise lies in Environmental Geochemistry, focusing on the partitioning and speciation of inorganic trace pollutants as well as the reuse of residues and by-products from industrial activities. Her research investigations encompass a broad spectrum of industrial processes, focused on desulphurisation systems, wasterwater, recycling facilities, copper primary production, and semiconductors production. These inquiries focus on the intricate dynamics of inorganic trace pollutants within these processes, as well as the management of residues.
