The experiments performed previously aimed to investigate whether PFAS can be concentrated or degraded with CDI-technology. Now we scale up to pilot testing at Sjöstadsverket - a joint KTH/IVL facility in Stockholm. We will first run trials with more frequent sampling and then let the pilot go on automatic and...

Meet our researchers – Vahid wants to make valuable products from low value biomass
Meet Vahid Saadattalab at Stockholm University, one of the researchers in MistraTerraClean He is doing research on how to make valuable products from low value biomass, such as grass cuttings. What do you do in your research? I work on heating carbon precursors such as grass cuttings in water and particles to...
Safe by Design – Early use of LCA
Mistra TerraClean aims to develop materials that eliminate pollution in air, water and soil. The program is now in its third year and the way of working is based on the fact that material development and life cycle analysis go hand in hand. With LCA starting from the beginning, negative...

On their so-called 100-list, Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), highlights diverse research projects from Swedish research and education institutions. This year with a special focus on sustainable development. The projects on the list all have potential of creating impact through commercialization, business or method development, or societal impact....
Mistra Programme directors’ meeting
How can research more influence policy development in the European Union? That was one important topic of the Mistra Programme Directors’ meeting in January 2020. New knowledge can help the policy to be more fact based – but then we need to communicate our results in effective and efficient ways....
Workshop on LCA
WP4 arranged a workshop yesterday, on LCA tools and safety assesments, at Näringslivets hus. It was a very fruitful day! Now we will take it to the next step and think about how to implement it in our work. Thank you Lisbeth and Tomas @ IVL
Workshop on sensors, membranes & smart filters
Mistra TerraClean had a two Days workshop on sensors, membranes and smart filters on May 29 &30. The first day we were att Joydeep Duttas lab at KTH Kista. Joydeep and his colleaugues talked about their activities in antifoul ploysulphone membranes, including some of the very recent work on CNT...
