Environmentally friendly extinguishing agent and sorbent preparations with a microbial component for ecological liquidation of traffic accidents

The project aims to develop an environmentally safe solution for liquidating vehicle accidents, spec. an ecological fire extinguisher (FE) and sorption nanofiber carpets with a microbial component capable of degrading petroleum substances (PS). This solution will reduce the negative impact of accidents on the environment - preventing the leakage of non-biodegradable, toxic compounds into the environment. The FE will be as environmentally friendly as possible and very good at extinguishing various types of fires, including electric car fires. Nanofibrous structures with a high sorption capacity will be prepared for the sorption of PS. To regenerate the sorbent, a biological agent will be applied, spec. a microbial consortium with a high biodegradation potential toward PS.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
