He has been also funded by private companies and arranged 10 contracts with them. He has published around 130 research articles in highly impact scientific journals (JCR) in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Technology and Material Technology areas. He has also 3 patents, 9 book chapters and more than 250 communications to international or national congresses. All of those contribution have captured the attention of scientific-technical comunity in the aforementioned areas, providing him a high number of citations (more than 6200), a H index (Hirsch) of 46 and 5 six-year research periods. He has been also:
