Now, we took a next step and activated the biochar into activated carbon for elimination of micropollutants at small and medium sewage treatment plants. This material then can be used in constructed wetlands as an additional step after the conventional treatment. This application opens possibilities for new markets. This whitepaper contains the following chapters: ✅ Explanation of the general principle of activated carbon production from residual streams ✅ Biochar from Cellulose - manufacturing process and possible application ✅ Elimination of pollutants using Biochar from cellulose in Constructed Wetlands ✅ Constructed Wetlands with biochar - Case study for a small catchment area ✅ Circularity measurement & Assessment methodology ✅ Future challenges Authors of the Whitepaper: University of Luxembourg: Joachim Hansen, Silvia Venditti, Irene Salmerón García.

Let's turn waste into treasure! Our environmental innovation that turns waste into valuable resources. This microwave vapor plasma process does not produce NOx, CO, CO2, SO2 gases, plus the emission is odorless
Climate protection with biochar made from sludge. Biochar fertilizes the microflora of infertile soil, regulates the water balance and water-holding capacity of agricultural areas. It forms a good basis for the microorganisms necessary for plant growth. Our process is a sewage sludge dehumidification and pyrolysis device, which enables us to use the phosphorus and potassium containing phosphorus and potassium for drying the sewage treatment plant (20% dry matter content) in continuous operation without the use of an external energy source and trace elements (Fe, Mn, Ca, Zn and Cu). The biochar obtained during pyrolysis can be used as a renewable inorganic fertilizer in any growing season. Biochar does not contain biologically hazardous components. Since we use controlled sludge from a specific sewage treatment plant, it can be easily monitored that it does not contain toxic inorganic components.

PFAS & Microplastics science education. Whisky & Spirits steward. Adventure travels with Batty the French bulldog.
I find this post baffling, as lithium mining itself poses tremendous environmental threats, much more than small amounts of battery-derived PFAS leaching into landfills, etc. Entire communities are being displaced by Li mining, entire water tables are being contaminated possibly beyond rehabilitation. This situation will only deteriorate, until it can no longer be ignored by the US and EU press. According to Green Match: "Lithium mining, like most mining activities, has a significant environmental footprint. The extraction process can harm the soil by causing air contamination, and in places like South America's lithium fields, it can lead to water scarcity and affect local communities. " According to the Department of Labor, child labor is utilized for the mining of lithium. According to Science News, lithium mining threatens extinction of migratory birds, in particular flamingos. I think PFAS in Li batteries is the least of our concerns. There is a need to be rational, not sensational, when evaluating the hazards and risks of PFAS.

PFAS in Lithium Batteries: An Emerging Environmental Threat Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in lithium battery electrolytes pose significant environmental risks, according to a new study. Lithium-ion batteries are an integral part of the world's clean energy infrastructure and emerging technologies. The study shows that the environmental concentrations, ecotoxicity, and treatability of bis-PFAS are comparable to those of highly regulated PFAS such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), highlighting the clean energy sector as an unrecognized and potentially growing source of PFAS emissions. The study also found elevated levels of PFAS in landfill leachate, a growing concern as e-waste increases. https://lnkd.in/d346t4Gp This underscores the urgent need for research into innovative #bioremediation methods to address global #PFAS water #contamination. #cleanwaters #enzymes #health
