Objective Daily intake of arsenic polluted water by cattle in Argentina is becoming of increasing concern, especially due to the important size of the livestock export market where EU is a main customer. Because natural forage or alfalfa grown without irrigation is used to feed livestock, drinking water is considered the main source of arsenic for cattle (several studies reveal arsenic concentrations in phreatic water samples above 0.15 mg/L, the level that suggest causing chronic intoxication in cattle). Therefore, as it has been demonstrated, there is a risk of exposure for the human health due to the introduction in the food chain through milk or meat. In view of arsenic toxicity and the large number of people exposed to its effects worldwide, there is a clear need for the implementation in remote exploitations of affordable and sustainable treatment methodologies to provide potable water to cattle. To face this problem and provide a solution, NANOREMOVAS pursues to develop and implement a pilot plant for the remote treatment of arsenic polluted waters based on the application of state-of-art advanced multifunctional nanostructured materials, already tested at the laboratory level. In this sense, NANOREMOVAS includes the cooperation between the industry and academia of partners from Europe and Argentina. Besides the required research and innovation to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the developed water recycling technique, the seconded researchers will carry out a series of tasks and outreach activities, promoting entrepreneurship culture and support of young innovative companies in order to set-up technological partnerships within the water and livestock sector. Furthermore, NANOREMOVAS represents a significant contribution to knowledge and technology transfer from the academia to the industrial sector, through the partners well established reputation as transfer hubs, that will led to quickly creating designs and industrial equipment/processes/model Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwater treatment processesdrinking water treatment processesengineering and technologycivil engineeringwater engineeringirrigationagricultural sciencesanimal and dairy sciencedomestic animalsanimal husbandryengineering and technologynanotechnologynano-materialsnatural scienceschemical sciencesinorganic chemistrymetalloids Programme(s) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.3. - Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge Topic(s) MSCA-RISE-2014 - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Call for proposal H2020-MSCA-RISE-2014 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MSCA-RISE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Coordinator UNIVERSITAT AUTONOMA DE BARCELONA Net EU contribution € 369 000,00 Address Edif a campus de la uab bellaterra cerdanyola v 08193 Cerdanyola del valles Spain See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (4) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all KUNGLIGA TEKNISKA HOEGSKOLAN Sweden Net EU contribution € 121 500,00 Address Brinellvagen 8 100 44 Stockholm See on map Region Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 AERIS TECNOLOGIAS AMBIENTALES SL Spain Net EU contribution € 99 000,00 Address Calle santa rosa 38 08290 Cerdanyola del valles See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
