Chances for Concentrate

In this project, we are investigating how the circular processing of concentrated residual streams can contribute to future-resilient and socially responsible freshwater supplies. This involves recovering water and producing raw materials for which there is a market.…

Non-target screening: quantitative and on time

The confident identification of a compound followed by accurate quantification of its concentration in a water sample is a prerequisite for risk assessment. In recent years, chemical water quality monitoring has developed…

Strengthening research into activated carbon filtration for micropollutant removal

Organic micropollutants (OMPs), including persistent compounds, are being increasingly detected in groundwater and surface water. Understanding the action of (surface water) treatment in the removal of OMPs is…

Performance of nanotechnology-based membranes in the removal of pathogens and organic micropollutants

Applications of nanotechnology in (drinking) water treatment will possibly lead to revolutionary new applications (breakthrough technology), energy and chemical savings, reduced residual streams and fewer operational problems (e.g.,…
