• TRACE-it — Controlling particle flow driven by local concentration gradients in geological porous media

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Structure associée au projet

  Many engineering applications foreseen the usage of small particles for groundwater remediation or for sealing damaged geological confinement barriers, however, delivering materials to a contaminated or damaged region is challenging. TRACE-it aims at controlling the flow of colloidal particles in subsurface geological environments using in situ solute concentration gradients. The phenomenon, known as diffusiophoresis, has…

• COCONUT — Colloidal control of multi-phase flow in geological porous media

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Structure associée au projet

  The COCONUT project aims at developing predictive capabilities to understand how colloids (nanometals, fine particles, bacteria, viruses, asphaltenes..) control immiscible two-phase flow in complex geological formations. Colloids (including nanoparticles) have an incredible potential to remobilize non-aqueous phases trapped by capillary forces in soils and the subsurface, and then to remediate contaminated groundwater or to enhance…

• SEMACRET — Sustainable exploration for orthomagmatic (critical) raw materials in the EU: Charting the road to the green energy transition

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Structure associée au projet

  Critical raw materials (CRMs) are fundamental to the EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors, particularly with regard to the green energy transition. Currently, the EU domestic supply of primary CRMs is below 3% for many important commodities. To obtain an improved understanding of the EU?s critical raw materials potential, discover new ore deposits and…
