Development of water treatment systems that counteract the eutrophication process of lakes based on zeolites obtained from industrial by-products - CleanLake

Project summary

The project proposes an innovative water treatment systems. As part of the project, composite sorption materials based on zeolites obtained from by-products, i.e. fly ash and coal gangue, will be developed. The sorption material will be dedicated to the treatment of inland waters, in which the eutrophication process occurs in a form of products that prevent pollution from filtration the inflows or purification of the water. At the same time, designed elements will be possible for seasonal use, such as paths on the shore of the lake, nesting platforms for water birds or others. After absorbing the right amount of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, the water infrastructure will be recycled and transformed into fertilizers for plant production with a controlled release rate of nutrients. The project has a scientific nature by creating products and developing modern technologies that are demanded by the market, and it is a dedicated to circular economy approach.
