Pollution of water sources with nitrogen ions and chlorinated organic compounds (COCl), such as some pesticides or their degradation products, is a major problem, especially in areas where intensive agriculture is practiced [1].
The aim of this project is the efficient and economically feasible transfer and development of a technology for depollution of water from sources contaminated with nitrates and chlorinated organic compounds (pesticides and their degradation products in the environment), which can be used to obtain drinking water and/or for the remediation of groundwater.
Achieving this goal implies the fulfillment of specific objectives: (a) documenting the industrial-scale transfer of validated laboratory technology and identifying the possibilities for optimizing the proposed technology (functional, operational and energy) by aligning with the latest scientific discoveries in the field to ensure the success of the transfer; (b) transfer and optimization in the industrial environment of the proposed technology; (c) validation of technology efficiency by independent entities; (d) demonstrating the efficiency of the technology implemented in the industrial environment.
The innovative character of the proposed technology extends to two levels—the level of unitary processes (at the level of the catalytic reduction process, innovative catalysts will be used, characterized, tested and selected according to performance and stability) and the level of technology (synergistic integration of catalytic reduction processes with catalytic oxidation and biofiltration processes)—for the quasi-total conversion of pollutants, in conditions of significant contamination.
The technological maturity reached at the end of the project implementation period will be TRL 6, in which the project ends with the realization, validation and demonstration in the industrial environment of the functionality and efficiency of the technology on a pilot installation implemented in a water treatment plant.
