EU Training Network for Resource Recovery through Enhanced Landfill Mining (NEW-MINE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Europe has somewhere between 150,000 and 500,000 landfill sites, with an estimated 90% of them being “non-sanitary” landfills, predating the EU Landfill Directive of 1999. These older landfills tend to be filled with municipal solid waste and often lack any environmental protection technology. In order to avoid future environmental and health problems, many of these landfills will soon require exp ...

Pre-standardisation of incremental FIB micro-milling for intrinsic stress evaluation at the sub-micron scale (ISTRESS)

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

"Intrinsic (or residual) stresses, resulting from manufacturing or processing steps, mostly define the performance and limit the lifetime of nanostructured materials, thin films, coatings and MEMS devices.The established techniques for micron-scale measurement of residual stress still have strong limitations, e.g. in terms of spatial resolution, lack of depth sensing, their applicability on non-cr ...

Recovery of Phosphorus from Sewage Sludge and Sewage Sludge Ashes with the thermo-reductive RecoPhos-Process (RECOPHOS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Natural phosphate sources low in heavy metals are getting scarce. Containing about 15 mass-% of P2O5, sewage sludge ash can be considered a secondary phosphorus (P-) source. The P-content in the European sewage sludge could currently replace roughly 15% of the phosphate imports into the EU.Hence already for many years, almost decades, it has been tried to recover phosphorus from sewage, sludge and ...

Paleogeography of the Paratethys: Relation to hydrocarbon source rock quality (PARATETHYS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

"The Neogene Paratethys successions of Central Europe and the southern Caucasus are considered as important source rocks for hydrocarbons. Due to different regional biostratigraphic stages used for potential source rock successions, paleoenvironmental correlations remain enigmatic and hydrocarbon source rock formation is poorly understood. The goal of this project is to reconstruct the Eocene to M ...
