Ongoing research
Current collaborations
Valorise
Investigating phosphorus and antimony recovery from waste streams, including groundwater treatment residuals and incinerator ash.
Funding: Independent Research Fund Denmark · Project2
Selected projects since 2021
Past collaborations
Earlier funded projects that helped establish the lab’s current research. Scientific collaborations can continue beyond the funded period.
PERFORM-II
Removal and recovery of copper and lead from geothermal brines. The work investigated ion-selective filters to reduce scaling and corrosion, including the interactions of copper with natural and synthetic zeolites.
Funding: Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), within the European PERFORM-II collaboration
Poison to Profit
Developing chemical and electrochemical methods to recover resources from arsenic-rich waste. The project investigated separating arsenic and iron into recoverable fractions and transforming them into useful materials.
Funding: GeoCenter Denmark
REUSE
Foundational research on arsenic valorization from groundwater treatment sludge, linking the chemical forms of arsenic in the starting material with extraction and recovery methods.
Funding: Independent Research Fund Denmark · Project1 / Green Transition
