Nanoremediation of contaminated soils: Technology implementation with respect to ecotoxicological aspects
Czech University of Life Sciences Prague ·Czechia
About this project
<p>The aim of the proposed project is a complex investigation of the use of different iron-based nanomaterials (with preference of novel materials like sulfidised nanoscale zerovalent iron, iron oxide nanoparticles and biochar-nanoiron composite) for the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated with metal(loid)s from all perspectives, including the ecotoxicological aspect crucial for further practical application in real-world conditions, i.e., starting at the laboratory scale and moving to the field using complex geochemical, hydropedological, reactive-transport modeling and biological approaches. The results will include 2 EU ETV verified technologies and 2 pilot tests for practical applications.</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
The bilateral cooperation successfully navigated differences in regulations, and plans to continue working on future proposals in environmental engineering, leveraging shared know-how, analyses, and a combination of diverse techniques and approaches.
