Project description
New technology for potable water
To improve the quality of potable water, chemically tailored graphene and related materials (GRMs) will be combined with capillary membranes (CMs) technology. The EU-funded GRAPHEME project will engineer a new generation of CMs that will combine the removal of toxic pollutants with rejection of particles, microorganisms and dissolved solids thanks to the synergy between micro/ultrafiltration by CM scaffolds and GRM multitarget adsorption. The project will define a strategy to commercialise the GRAPHEME technology, including intellectual property positioning, market survey, business model and fundraising. Specifically, a technical and commercial proof of concept will be established by developing a prototype to ultimately bring its CMs technology closer to the market.
