Abstract

ii Nanowaste is a nanosized waste generated during the production and distribution of nanomaterials or at the end of the lifecycle of nanoproducts. In this project, the nanowaste (pure) from manufacturing processes of nanomaterials (WO3 -MoO3 and WOX) was studied, specifically of two synthesis techniques derived from physical vapor deposition (CSVT and HFCVD). These residues were characterized by SEM and XRD techniques. In the case of WO3 -MoO3, it was explored its possible use as N2 adsorption material. For the second case (WOX) different reuse applications were used like gas adsorption, photodegradation of organic matter and the catalytic oxidation of soot. The results showed that nanowaste recycling is a viable proposition and that each nanowaste should have a characterization study to determine the best management alternative.
