RECHARGE: Green bioremediation to abate micropollutants. Safeguarding the drinking water cycle for future generations KU Leuven
Freshwater resources such as groundwater for drinking water production are scarce due to various reasons of which one is the presence of a multitude of recalcitrant micropollutants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals …). This problem is relevant for both Europe and China. In this call, which enables the collaboration between China (NSFC) and EU (Horizon2020), both Chinese and European research groups will aim at improving and optimizing ...

Electricity driven Low Energy and Chemical input Technology foR Accelerated bioremediation Ghent University
The ELECTRA project is a EU-China RTD joint initiative that will deliver 2 innovative sets of novel electromicrobiology based environmental biotechnologies, facilitating/improving electron transfer during microbial degradation processes. Our approach will accelerate the elimination of several classes of pollutants and mixtures thereof in contaminated wastewater, groundwater, sediment and soil. The first set of biotechnologies employs ...
Exploring the bioremediation ans application potential of phyllosphere bacteria (PHYLOBACT). University of Antwerp
The potential of the green seaweed Ulva (Chlorophyta, Ulvaceae) as a bioremediation model for integrated aquaculture in the Mekong delta (Vietnam) Ghent University
Integrated aquaculture reduces the environmental impacts of effluents and makes the activity more sustainable. Given the importance of aquaculture in Vietnam, we aim to investigate Ulva as a model for bioremediation in integrated aquaculture. We will screen Ulva species for bioremediation purposes concentrating on local diversity, their efficiency to extract nutrients from effluents and reproductive dynamics of the species.
