Project description
A circular approach to soil remediation and biomass use
Contaminated soils pose significant environmental and economic challenges, yet innovative solutions can turn these areas into valuable resources. The EU-funded pHYBi project will combine soil remediation with lignocellulosic biomass in a circular economy model. Over the course of the project, researchers will test and optimise phytomanagement techniques across four case studies, refine methods to extract valuable components from plant biomass and explore their applications in the textile industry. A virtual replication tool will be developed to guide the replication of these methods in other regions. Social innovation activities will strongly connect the process with the market; the project will ensure its solutions are market-ready and widely accepted by society.
Objective
pHYBi is a 48-month action that will combine the soil phytoremediation concept with lignocellulosic biomass valorisation in an integrated phytomanagement circular economy approach. The pHYBi concept will focus its efforts across different levels of development (1) test, optimisation and validation of 4 phytomanagement case studies, (2) optimisation of biomass fractionation into lignocellulosic components based on organosolv techniques, and (3) characterisation and application of lignocellulosic fractions to create a well-planned market route for the potential end-applications in the textile industry.
Furthermore, the project will develop a Virtual Replication Tool where phytomanagement, valorisation process and end-products will be integrated, resulting in guidelines, recommendations and thresholds for the replication of pHYBi’s case studies along other areas. To finalise the proposal concept, social innovation activities will strongly connect the process with the market and society with the aim to deliver high quality products with high level of acceptance.
To achieve its goals, pHYBi brings together a multidisciplinary team integrating experts in plant and soil science (UBFC, UBU, UNIOVI, PHY), chemical engineering and biorefineries (CETIM), computational science (IDE), textile materials and products (NTT), agroindustry (PARTICULA, PHY, DIH-LEAF), and market analysis, knowledge exchange and social innovation (SEZ).
