Martijn van Veggel is a researcher in the Water Treatment & Resource Recovery (WTR) team. In doing so, he combines his background in Analytical Chemistry and Geochemistry (Earth Surface & Water, Utrecht University). He specialises in inorganic analysis and characterisation using ICP, XRF, FTIR and SEM, among others. Combining the experience of laboratory-scale experiments and analyses with knowledge of geochemical processes, Martijn works on optimisation and innovation of drinking water treatment. Iron removal from groundwater and colloid formation, iron sludge upcycling and the application of concentrate streams in circular applications are his focus here. Among his daily activities are the use of iron pellets as a means of contaminant removal and the use of green hydrogen for metal powder formation. In doing so, he contributes to fully utilising residual streams from groundwater production for a future-proof and circular water sector.
