Gentle remediation of trace element contaminated land (GREENLAND)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Gentle remediation options (g.r.o.) include various (mostly plant based) approaches to remediate trace element contaminated soils at low cost and without significant negative effects for the environment. Although g.r.o. comprise very innovative and efficient technologies, they are still not widely used as practical site solution due to several reasons of hindrance for applying g.r.o. as practical ...

Advanced methods for the removal and monitoring of polar organic contaminants (PolarClean)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
The aim of the project is to develop advanced methdologies for the decontamination and monitoring of emerging polar contaminants in wastewaters and drinking waters.There are no known technologies for cleaning e.g. endocrine disruptors, molluscicides, acrylamide, which are major problems affecting the quality of drinking water world-wide and can degrade aquatic ecosystems. Methods based on micro- a ...

Metal-containing hybrid materials for water remediation from trace heavy metals (HY-REM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Innovative approaches based on alloying of metals to remove mercury from drinking water will be developed. Gold and silver nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of silsesqioxane-hydride films deposited on silica-gel surfaces will be used as a novel adsorbent for trace mercury removal. Use of silsesquioxane-hydride as an additive for producing cryogels allows for creation of novel clean up devic ...

Macroclean - developing novel gel-based technologies for water clean-up (MACRO-CLEAN)
Start date: Apr 18, 2009, End date: Apr 17, 2011,
"The management of contaminated groundwater, surface waters and drinking water is a major issue both in the EU and globally, where recent (and historical) industrial, urban and commercial activities have led to the presence of elevated concentrations of a wide range of contaminants in surface- and ground-waters, adversely affecting the health of millions of people. This has been recognised in a nu ...
