The ICP delivers the
scientific capacities and technological achievements of our institute to a wide
number of socio-economic sectors at both national and international levels
(companies, public organisations etc.)
via our Unit of Know-how management (UGC). Our principal objective is to
achieve that research carried out at the ICP-CSIC is transformed into a social,
economical and cultural wellbeing.

Method for enzyme stabilisation
2016
The CSIC has developed a novel method for enzyme stabilisation that leads to biocatalyst with longer lifetime, for being used at industrial level. The method consists on coating the enzyme surface using a polymeric layer with hydrophilic nature and high viscosity. It can be applied to a variety of enzymes that can be immobilised or not. Companies interested in the use of this method for their enzymatic processes, under a patent license, are sought.
Reactive polymer membrane for water disinfection and chemical contaminant removal
2015
The ICP and the ICTP (CSIC) have developed a polymer membrane for water treatment that acts as antimicrobial disinfectant, while allows removal of chemical contaminants typically present in industrial water. The hydrodynamic resistance of this membrane allows treating high water fluxes and its UV resistance increases its lifetime. Its biocidal effect has been successfully tested for Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), where after short exposure time the bacteria is totally removed without affecting membrane flux, thus revealing its antifouling effect.
An industrial partner interested in manufacturing this membrane under a license agreement for its application in industrial water treatment plants is sought
Bioelectrochemical device for H2 or O2 production by water splitting
2014
The CSIC has designed a bioelectrochemical device for water splitting using a laccase enzyme developed by the Institution, through protein engineering, which makes the electrolysis more efficient and economical for hydrogen production. The laccase catalyses the water oxidation at low overpotentials, allowing significant energetic saving, and with high oxygen evolution. Companies interested in developing and using this device for hydrogen production, are sought
High active ternary catalyst M-Cu-Ce more stable for the Water gas shift (WGS) reaction.
2012
A Spanish public research organisation has developed a solid ternary catalyst with crystalline structure “fluorite type” and with similar activity and higher stability compare to the conventional catalysts based on noble metals in water gas shift reaction “WGS”.
Industrial partners interested in the exploitation of these catalysts are sought.
