Overview

We offer a Biological Coagulant Recovery For Resilient And Sustainable Water And Wastewater Treatment degree at Cranfield University. Worldwide, the demand for iron salts for treatment is rapidly increasing as improved water quality targets are required, thus generating both a risk to supply and excess waste that needs disposal.

Features

The ambition of this project is to establish the basis to harness natural biological processes for resource recovery, enabling resilient and sustainable water treatment within planetary boundaries.

Ultimately this will change the way we think about coagulant use and help us transform towards a circular economy.
