Innovative carbon-based sorbents as an efficient way to treat wastewater

About this project

<p>Micropollutants and their metabolites enter the aquatic environment from a variety of sources with the main sources of contamination being sewage, agricultural effluents and even recycled municipal wastewater for parks and gardens. The project will prepare and analyze carbonaceous sorbents based on biochar and other selected carbon compounds. Furthermore, a treatment unit will be designed for final purification and disinfection of wastewater from selected micropollutants. This pilot unit will subsequently be installed as a pilot plant at the Příbram WWTP which is connected to 2 medical facilities and at the Ostrava WWTP.</p>
