Green Remediation Technologies to Remove Synthetic Organofluorine Chemical Compounds from Water – GreenWaterTech-2
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment, with over 14,700 unique PFAS compounds listed in the EPA’s DSSTox database. These synthetic chemicals are highly water-soluble, enabling them to spread far from their sources, contaminating surface and groundwater and ente
Shifting mining waters from burden to resource – HydroShift
HYDROSHIFT aims to transform acid mine drainage (AMD) into a valuable resource, addressing pressing environmental and economic challenges posed by AMD. This acidic water, rich in toxic elements, contaminates ecosystems over extended periods, creating costly, long-term liabilities. HYDROSHIFT seeks
Valorizing agrifood wastewater through advanced biorefining techniques for sustainable packaging solutions – VALORBIO
VALORBIO aims at transforming the production of sustainable bioplastics by combining wastewater treatment, bioplastic manufacturing, and biodegradation into a unified solution for eco-friendly food packaging. The project leverages cutting-edge technologies to overcome longstanding challenges in biop
Recovery of addEd valUe compoundS from coffee and olive oil wastewatErs – REUSE
The REUSE project focuses on the circular economy approach addressing the recovery of valuable polyphenolic compounds from two wastewaters taken as case studies from the processing of coffee and olive oil. Olive oil and coffee production generate large amounts of wastewater with high Biochemical Oxy
Sustainable nitrogen management under the revised directive on urban wastewater treatment – Red-SuN
The Red-SuN project aims at proposing and evaluating new routes to treat and/or recover nitrogen from wastewater within this revised directive without compromising the carbon-footprint of the plants. An in-depth evaluation of the current practice in terms of nitrogen treatment in the four countries/
