Colloidal Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for the REclamation of Toxic Metal Contaminated GROUNDwater Aquifers, Drinking Water Wells and River Bank Filtrations. KU Leuven
The main objective of the presented innovation action is the first application and near-market replication of a novel water nanogeotechnology for the immobilization of toxic metals in groundwater aquifers, drinking water wells, and river bank filtration sites. The basic concept of our technology is the creation of an adsorptive in situ barrier for the immobilization of toxic metal contaminations. This barrier is made of iron oxide ...

Fate and biodegradation of dichlobenil and its metabolite 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM) in public places - Graveyards as a case study KU Leuven
Historic landfills are unconfined and well-known sources of groundwater contamination. The contaminated groundwater plume around landfills has a pronounced redox zonation that largely affects the biodegradation of xenobiotic organic contaminants (XOC) present in the landfill. Indeed, besides the local aquifer geochemistry that governs the oxidising capacity, the redox zonation in landfill impacted aquifers depends on the quality and quantity ...
