Description du projet
Collaboration entre l’UE et la Chine pour innover dans le domaine de l’assainissement des sites pollués
Le projet EiCLaR est composé de 18 partenaires d’Europe et de Chine et est coordonné par l’École centrale de Lyon. EiCLaR développera des innovations scientifiques et techniques destinées aux technologies de bioremédiation in situ qui seront directement transformées en procédés industriels pour le traitement rapide, efficace et rentable d’un éventail de polluants environnementaux (solvants chlorés, métaux lourds, hydrocarbures). Ces technologies (électro-nanobioremédiation, bioaugmentation contrôlée, remédiation bioélectrochimique et phytoremédiation améliorée) élargiront leur gamme d’applications aux sites industriels qui contiennent des mélanges complexes de polluants affichant des concentrations élevées. Les méthodes environnementales, durables et à faible impact d’EiCLaR doteront les chercheurs, gestionnaires de sites, promoteurs, acquéreurs et fournisseurs de services et de technologies d’outils de gestion des sols et des eaux souterraines pollués, ce qui améliorera la qualité de l’environnement dans l’UE et en Chine.
Objectif
EiCLaR, as a EU/China consortium, will develop scientific and technical innovations for in situ bioremediation technologies that will be directly developed into industrial processes for the rapid efficient cost-effective treatment of a range of environmental pollutants such as chlorinated solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, etc. These technologies (Electro-nanobioremediation, innovative Bioaugmentation, Bioelectrochemical remediation, Enhanced phytoremediation) will enable bioremediation approaches to expand their range of applications to industrial sites and waters that contain complex, high concentration pollutant mixtures. This project will move our proof-of-concept level advances to industrial commercial processes through laboratories studies to refine the processes and to explore the scientific base and scale-up techniques and field demonstrations. Our recent advances in nanobioremediation will be enhanced by studies of the critical microbial component and the use of electrochemical processes to increase the degradation rate and biocatalyst lifetime. The innovative bioaugmentation is based on a recently discovered bacteria capable of degrading some chlorinated solvents efficiently under aerobic conditions. The Bioelectrochemical system will speed up the anaerobic degradation of pollutants when aeration is not feasible. The enhanced phytoremediation will benefit from the synergistic effect of fungi and electrokinetic nutrient dispersion. These environmental sustainable and low impact depollution methods will provide service companies with the tools to manage contaminated soil and water and improve environmental quality at over a million sites throughout Europe and China. These companies will be able to grow by increased personnel and revenue while improving biodiversity and reducing environmental risks.
