Mistra Terra Clean wins the the VA award for 2021. The award goes to research that can solve the water crisis in the world - and remove toxic substances from, for example, fire foam that have leaked into the Swedish drinking water. - The approach and results in Mistra TerraClean,...
Mistra TerraClean is a finalist to the VA-prize
Once a year, VA-fakta presents an award ”VA prize” to an organization or person who are contributing to the befit of the VA management in Sweden. Mistra TerraClean is nominated and now one of the finalists for the pilot at Hammarby Sjöstad that is a good contribution to VA and...
Mistra TerraClean forskare på KTH kan lösa problemet med PFAS i dricksvatten
De har haft fina resultat i labbet. Över 90 procent av miljögifter från PFAS-ämnen försvinner från vatten med en ny metod, utvecklad på KTH. Nu sätter tester i större skala igång i Hammarby sjöstadsverk. Läs hela artikeln på KTH:s webb.
Outreach – some examples
The Mistra TerraClean team has made extensive efforts in communicating smart, advanced materials as being part of the solution to the global challenges in general, and specifically as solutions to the challenges regarding clean water and clean air. Below are some selected initiatives. IVA’s “100 List” Mistra TerraClean was selected...
Case study on PFAS capture in the pipeline, installation at Hammarby Sjöstadsverk
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...
