ACR-Tech

Groundwater treatment for removal of arsenic and chromium(VI) using innovative adsorbing and filtration technologies

 

Funding:

BMBF, DAAD
Duration:01.03.2016 – 31.12.2017

project management / project work:

Prof. Dr.-Ing. M. Ernst / M. Langer

Situation:

The ACR-Tech project was granted within the „PPP-IKYDA 2016“ call of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). IKYDA is a bilateral scientific fundig measurement of DAAD and the Greec State Scholarship Foundation (I.K.Y.) with the objective to support cooperation between Greec and German research groups, especially between young academics.

Since March 2016, there is a lively exchange with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki about the removal of arsenic and chromium from groundwater.

Methodology:
  • Investigate innovative technological approaches for efficient arsenic and chromium removal from groundwaters coupled with filtration / membrane filtration
  • Monitor such innovative treatment lab pilots for long term (several months) and evaluate their practical applicability, especially with emphasis to the low energy, low cost, low maintenance and operational requirements
  • Promote mobility, training and specialization of young academics
  • Initiate a closer collaboration for future joint research projects
