Regenerable active polyelectrolyte nanofiltration membranes for water reuse and metal/acid recovery (LbLBRANE)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
The shortage of drinking water in many regions on the planet constitutes a real problem and hazard. The use of seawater, brackish water and wastewater for human consumption is not a new concept. In spite of the success of membrane technology in water reclamation, membrane separation systems suffer from a serious problem: membrane fouling. The main downside is an inevitabe increase in operation and ...

NANOMATERIALS-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND HEALTH HAZARDS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE-CYCLE (NEPHH)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
The purpose of this project is to identify and rate important forms of nanotechnology-related environmental pollution and health hazards that could result from activities involved in nano-structures throughout their life-cycle, and to suggest means that might reduce or eliminate these impacts. Besides the positive multipurpose nano-reinforcement in materials and expanded devices applications, lit ...

Project to demonstrate the feasability of compost bioremediation technology for the reclamation and sustainable urban management of brownfields (BIOSOIL)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2004, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2007,
Background
Rehabilitation of urban brownfield areas is a priority for many European countries since it helps facilitate land-use planning, integrated socio-economic developments and reduces pressure on the use of greenfield sites. However, past industrial activities in derelict urban sites have left serious problems in the form of polluted soils that inhi ...
