CARBOSORB
CARBOSORB is a 4 year, 1.28 million Euro FP7 IAPP (Industry Academia Partnerships & Pathways) project, coordinated by the University of Brighton.
The aim of CARBOSORB is to develop and manufacture permeable composite filters in which carbon-rich nanoparticles (or nanoporous materials) will be embedded (and contained in a recyclable 3D structure), and use these as the basis of recyclable, high-performance water clean-up devices, for application in environmental and industrial sectors. It brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of specialists in different areas of environmental (geo)chemistry, nanotechnology and physical, analytical, synthetic, polymer and surface chemistry, working with a common aim of developing new and efficient methods of contaminant removal from surface and groundwaters, drinking waters and trade and industrial effluent.
The CARBOSORB consortium would like to thank the EU for funding of the CARBOSORB project.
