Biosensor feed-back control of waste water purification: photooxidation followed by biological degradation using highly active surfactant degrading bacteria

Objective

The BIOFEED project presents new scientific ad technological approaches for the wastewater clean up from surfactants. Detoxification process combines two steps: photo oxidation (ozone treatment with impulse UV irradiation) and bio sorption-biodegradation. Genetic screening technology will be used for selection of new highly active natural bacterial strains capable of effective degradation of surfactants. Optimisation and control of a surfactant clean up will be performed by feedback control of the processes based on the analysis of water samples with several types of microbial biosensors, CG/ LC/ MS, and ecotoxicity tests. The kinetics of biodegradation, biosensor construction, and pattern recognition of biodegradation profiles are among the objectives of investigation.

Programme(s)
