Pio Gramazio
About
Pio Gramazio received both his bachelor’s degree and a Masters with distinction in 2020 in Industrial Chemistry, at the University of Bologna. He completed his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at the Department of Industrial Chemistry “Toso Montanari”, University of Bologna in April 2024.
His early research interest includes non-conventional catalyst production methods, based on microemulsion synthetic precipitation for preparation of Ceria-Zirconia Mixed Oxide and Titanium Oxide. The main field of application for these catalysts is hydrogen production, by classic Steam Reforming reaction of methane and aqueous Photo-Reforming of organic substrates, in particular glycerol, a biodiesel byproduct.
His research topic, as a Ph.D. student, investigates hydrogen separation from gaseous currents through mixed protonic-electronic conducting ceramic membranes.
Currently involved in the project DICO2F - Direct Conversion of CO2 and H2 to Fuels, where gas mixtures (CO2, CO, H2) are employed to produce liquid fuels, with the objective of positively impacting research in the field of CCUS.
