Strengthening of the environmental chemistry research

Objetivo

This project is a novel and innovative effort to combine several methods and scientific disciplines such as electrochemistry, analytics and environmental technology, in order to develop an integrated, environmentally friendly and cost and time efficient remediation technique for selected contaminants in soil and water matrices.
When implemented successfully, the proposed project has potential to overcome several limitations of the non-integrated techniques and methods currently in use, and the developed new technique can be a crucial key on the way of solving a global contamination problem.
The Laboratory of Applied Environmental Chemistry (LAEC) at the University of Kuopio (UKu) will act as a host in the proposed project. LAEC is focused on the chemical treatment and analysis of soils and waters, and it has a global leading research position in the field of complexation chemistry in aquatic solutions.
In order to be able to reach the scientific goal of creating a novel and innovative solution to a global problem, the weaker aspects of the knowledge base of LAEC need to be strengthened.
This will be implemented by recruiting experienced researchers having wide knowledge of disciplines like: microbially enhanced electrokinetic phenomenon, microbial activities under the applied electric field and pH environment, technique enhancement methods, such as ultrasound and application of the most suitable electron donors and mediators, complexation chemistry and electrically assisted ion exchange.
The project aims at strengthening the core competence of the LAEC. Moreover, it aims at networking and establishment of long-term research collaboration with high quality European and other international research partners. Networking and cooperation between the key players in the defined fields of science and technology will improve the performance of European research as a whole, and bring Europe a genuine leading position in a novel field of globally important research area.
