Various types of reactive filtration media can be used to cost
effectively remove contaminants from air and water.
The subprogram will focus on understanding the interactions
between contaminants and reactive media with the aim of optimising
the removal of contaminants from water and air.
This research will develop:
- Modified clay materials as a cost-effective acid sulfate soils
remediation technology
- Modified clay technology for adsorbing contaminants in air
- Cost-effective remediation technologies to immobilise
contaminants in soil and groundwater
- Carbon-based media with the aim of optimising the removal and
retention of water-based contaminants in groundwater, and
- Enhancing carbon-based media to promote microbial mediated
remediation.
