Descrizione del progetto
Una collaborazione tra UE e Cina per innovare il risanamento dei siti inquinati
Il progetto EiCLaR, finanziato dall’UE, è composto da 18 partner provenienti dall’Europa e dalla Cina ed è coordinato dall’École Centrale di Lione. EiCLaR progetterà innovazioni scientifiche e tecniche per le tecnologie di biorisanamento in situ che saranno direttamente sviluppate all’interno dei processi industriali per un trattamento rapido, efficiente ed economico di una serie di inquinanti ambientali (solventi clorurati, metalli pesanti, idrocarburi). Tali tecnologie (elettro-nanobiorisanamento, bioaumento monitorato, risanamento bioelettrochimico e fitorisanamento rafforzato) amplieranno la loro gamma di applicazioni a siti industriali che contengono miscele di inquinanti complesse e ad alta concentrazione. I metodi ambientali, sostenibili e a basso impatto del progetto EiCLaR forniranno a ricercatori, responsabili di sito, sviluppatori, committenti e fornitori di servizi e tecnologia gli strumenti per gestire i suoli e le acque freatiche contaminati, nonché migliorare la qualità dell’ambiente nell’UE e in Cina.
Obiettivo
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.
