Research of electro-nano-bio-remediation methods for remediation of waters and soils contaminated with PFAS

The aim of the project is to develop and verify innovative methods for in-situ remediation of PFAS contaminated water and soil through on-site pilot tests. The methods for water remediation will mainly focus on biological processes efficiently supported by electro-nano-chemical and electrokinetic processes. Soil remediation methods will use electrokinetic processes with controlled dosing of reagents for PFAS desorption from the rock matrix, concentration and subsequent removal. On-site pilot tests with real contaminated water (or soil) represent an effective approach at a scale close to the real site under defined conditions without interfering external influences making it difficult to interpret results and describe mechanisms in a comprehensive manner. The technology will have wide implementation potential in the national and international remediation market.

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