Soil
We develop technologies for the remediation and recovery of polluted soils and sediments. We undertake exhaustive
physical-chemical characterisation, traceability studies and the subsequent introduction of treatment using
biological and physical-chemical systems.
We also study viability and optimal process parameters for composting-based organic waste treatment processes as well as possible applications for the end product.
Our lines of technological activity are:
-
Soil and sediment characterisation.
-
Soil/sediment treatment technologies:
- Biological treatments:
- Composting-based bioremediation.
- Biostimulation.
- Bioaugmentation.
- Landfarming.
- Solid-phase treatment.
-
Soft technologies: natural attenuation.
-
Physical-chemical treatments:
- Solvent extraction.
- Contention systems.
- Inertisation/Solidification.
- Classification and washing.
- ISO/OECD compliant toxicity assays.
- Molecular biology tool-based microbial population study.
- Compost quality assessment.
- Valorisation of agrifood industry waste.
