Raúl Molina (Madrid, 1976) es Ingeniero Químico por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2000) y Doctor por la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (2006). Su trayectoria docente se ha desarrollado en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, comenzando como Ayudante de Escuela (2001-2006), Ayudante Doctor (2006-2009) y desde finales de 2009 como Contratado Doctor del Departamento de Tecnología Química y Ambiental. La docencia impartida incluye asignaturas de las titulaciones de Ingeniero Técnico Industrial (Química Industrial), Licenciado en Ciencias Ambientales, Ingeniero Químico, Master en Ciencia y Tecnología Ambiental y Grado en Ingeniería de la Energía. Su actividad investigadora comienza en el año 2000 en el Departamento de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid a través de una beca a cargo de un proyecto de investigación del Programa Calidad de Vida y Gestión de los Recursos Vivos de la Comunidad Europea titulado “New environmentally-sound methods for pitch control in different paper pulp manufacturing processes”. Posteriormente continua su trayectoria investigadora en el grupo de Ingeniería Química y Ambiental de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos en la que realiza su tesis doctoral sobre preparación de catalizadores tipo Fenton heterogéneos para el tratamiento de aguas residuales fenólicas y de origen industrial, obteniendo mención de doctorado europeo y premio extraordinario de tesis en el curso académico 2005/06. En los años 2005 y 2008 realiza estancias pre y post-doctorales de investigación en la Universidad de Abertay-Dundee (Escocia) bajo la supervisión del Dr. David Bremner, con quien mantiene abierta una línea de colaboración en el campo de tratamiento de contaminantes orgánicos en disolución acuosa mediante procesos de oxidación avanzada con catalizadores sólidos. En la actualidad sus líneas de investigación se centran en el desarrollo y aplicación de procesos de oxidación avanzada para el tratamiento de aguas residuales de origen industrial y con contaminantes emergentes, así como en la producción de hidrógeno.

    Resumen : The MOTREM project is a Water JPI project that focuses on the development of integrated processes for monitoring and treatment of emerging contaminants (ECs), improving the efficiency of the removal of these pollutants in urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), especially for water reuse. The project aims to provide new technologies for water treatment and/or improving the existing ones through the development of integrated processes for monitoring and treatment of ECs in the current waterline of municipal wastewater treatment plants, especially focusing on the aspect of water reuse. For this goal, the project combines cross- and multi-disciplinary expertise on water treatment processes design and engineering, analytical chemistry and ecotoxicology applied to ECs that guarantee the generation not only on new scientific knowledge but also of innovative commercial solutions to the market.
