Project:
Inovativní 3D struktura nosiče biomasy s nanovlákennou a biologickou složkou pro biotechnologické aplikace v oblasti čištění vod | bioD3CA
Registration number:CZ.01.01.01/01/22_002/0001074
Realization period:01.08. 2023 – 31.03. 2026
Leader at TUL:Ing. Karel Havlíček, Ph.D.
The aim of the project is to achieve a new type of 3D biomass carrier characterized by a unique structure and the presence of advanced (nano)materials. The application of this carrier will be in the field of aquatic biotechnology, specifically e.g. in wastewater treatment plants or in larger water bodies, where the carrier will ensure the maintenance of slow-growing and specific microorganisms able to metabolize pollutants and thus achieve a better chemical-biological state of the waters. Secondarily, efforts will be made to functionalize the nanofibrous surfaces on the carrier (e.g. by using enzymes or other biologically active substances - "3D bionarrier") to create a suitable environment for the growth and maintenance of specific microorganisms demanding conditions essential for their metabolism or for the use of these microorganisms in highly stressed environments.
