Abstract(s)

Cork processing wastewater present a severe environmental problem due to its high content in organic matter, such as sugars and non-biodegradable compounds like polyphenols (PPs), namely tannins. In this work, the assessment of the biological activity and identification of valuable polyphenolic compounds was envisaged. These compounds were obtained using membrane technology, leading to the valorisation of the wastewater components and simultaneously leading to the decrease of its pollutant content.
