Microbial Desalination for Low Energy Drinking Water (MIDES)
Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,
Shortage of fresh water has become one of the major challenges for societies all over the world. Water desalination offers an opportunity to significantly increase the freshwater supply for drinking, industrial use and irrigation. All current desalination technologies require significant electrical or thermal energy, with today's Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination units consuming electric energy of ...

Treatment and Disposal of Irradiated Graphite and Other Carbonaceous Waste (CARBOWASTE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
"Gas-Cooled Reactors (GCR), RBMK and some Material Test Reactors (MTR) make use of graphite as moderator of the fuel, structures of the core and/or thermal columns. During operation, the graphite and other carbonaceous materials like carbon brick, pyrocarbon and silicon carbide coatings are contaminated by fission products and neutron activation. These irradiated carbonaceous wastes are problemati ...

Understanding of Degradation Mechanisms to Improve Components and Design of PEFC (DECODE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,
"The main objective of the planned project DECODE is to increase the life-time of fuel cells for automotive applications. It is well-known that liquid water plays a crucial role in the degradation processes of fuel cells. However, this specific degradation influence is not addressed sufficiently in the present research and development efforts. Therefore, DECODE aims at identifying characteristic b ...
