All Work pachages are ongoing being carried out by Electroacross partners.

WP1: EK nutrient recovery

Increased utilization of secondary resources

In Work Package 1, a selection of waste materials containing secondary resources of high value was carried out.

A new methodology for recovering P is being developed, for upgrading wastes streams. The envisaged EK application will potentially contribute, ecologically and economically, to a sustainable use of P, which is an essential, yet limited resource, which cannot be replaced by any other element.

WP2: EK remediation

To remediate selected matrices contaminated with organics and inorganics

In Work package 2, the use of EK transport processes to remediate selected matrices contaminated with organics and inorganics, regarding specific applications is being studied. Nowadays a new class of compounds that historically have not been considered as contaminants are being reported with increasing frequency as present in the environment on a global scale and thus becoming a focus of concern. This new class of “emerging contaminants” includes a broad category of environmental chemicals that are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastewater sources and pathways that are being dispersed in to the environment due to their domestic, commercial, and industrial uses.

The applicability of EK to remove chemical contaminats, with a main focus on the emerging contaminants from wastes is under study, in order to develop it as a new remediation methodology.

WP3: EK remediation

Restoration of salt-damaged traditional ceramic tiles using EK

To develop a new technique to restore traditional “Azulejo” tiles.

WP4: Coupling EK with other technologies

Coupling EK with other technologies to enhance performance and sustainability

Development of new techniques namely of EK plus Nanoremediation and plus Phytoremediation is being carried out.

WP5: Final Conference

Presentation of the all the work done at a conference.

At the end of Electroacross project a Final Conference will be made in Portugal with Electroacross intervenients.
