Metal oxide Aided Subsurface Remediation: From Invention to Injection (METAL-AID)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2020,

Thousands of sites across Europe are polluted with toxic metals and organic solvents; many more exist worldwide. As EU population grows, clean water will determine the quality of life and economic stability. Most sites remain contaminated because existing technology is costly and disruptive. Society needs an innovative way to decontaminate soil and groundwater directly underground. In METAL-AID, w ...

Multi-Stakeholder Platform for a Secure Supply of Refractory Metals in Europe (MSP-REFRAM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Refractory metals (tungsten, tantalum, rhenium, molybdenum and niobium) are highly strategic metals today mainly imported from a few countries. The European primary production remains below a few percentage. However, resources exist in Europe, as primary resources but mainly as secondary resources (industrial waste, urban mines). Valorizing these resources requires coordination and networking betw ...

Innovation Demonstration for a Competitive and Innovative European Water Reuse Sector (DEMOWARE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The ability of Europe’s communities to respond to increasing water stress by taking advantage of water reuse opportunities is restricted by low public confidence in solutions, inconsistent approaches to evaluating costs and benefits of reuse schemes, and poor coordination of the professionals and organisations who design, implement and manage them. The DEMOWARE initiative will rectify these shortc ...

Slow processes in close-to-equilibrium conditions for radionuclides in water/solid systems of relevance to nuclear waste management (SKIN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Solid/liquid chemical equilibrium hypotheses (sorption, solubility, solid-solution formation) are key concepts in the assessment of nuclear waste safety. For radionuclides at trace concentrations this corresponds to constant solution concentrations, or solid/liquid distribution ratios, if environmental conditions remain constant. However, these concepts do not account for irreversible incorporati ...

Dissemination and uptake of FP water research results (WaterDiss2.0)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The implementation of the Water Framework Directive is not a “Business-as-usual approach”, and needs new knowledge and know-how, but it is demonstrated that the actual connection between research and policy is not efficient.The concept of the project is to add an intermediate step after research, like a marketing team in the industry.This “step-further” will be developed closely with the stakehold ...
