Assessing the feasibility of using a novel chemical process for the insitu treatment of low level metals waste in the nuclear industry

该项目将开发Magimix，这是一种新型，高效，低成本的技术，用于去除溶解有机碳（DOC），这是有机水污染的一个组成部分。DOC会使水变色，是消毒过程中DOC与氯反应时形成的致癌物质的前体。供水公司有义务去除水中的DOC，以符合欧盟规定的饮用水质量标准。然而，在过去的二十年里，英国水体中DOC的浓度增加了一倍多，并且还在继续上升，这导致了高昂的处理成本，导致一些集水区使用现有技术抽水变得不经济。该项目将验证Magimix的使用，Magimix是一种从水中去除有机污染物的新技术，这将为英国和全球水务行业提供一种新技术，使从目前不可用的蓝色水源中提取水具有成本效益。因此，Magimix将有助于维持我们未来的水供应安全。

This project will see the development of Magimix, a novel, highly efficient, low cost technology for the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which is a component of organic water pollution. DOC causes discolouration of water and is a precursor for carcinogenic species that are formed when DOC reacts with chlorine used in the disinfection process. Water companies are obliged to remove DOC from water to enable compliance with the drinking water quality standards as specified by the European Union. However, over the past two decades the concentration of DOC in UK water bodies has more than doubled and continues to rise, incurring high treatment costs that have resulted in some catchments becoming uneconomic for water abstraction using currently available technologies. This project will validate the use of Magimix, a new technology for organic pollutant removal from water, and in doing so will present both the UK and global water industry with a novel technology that enables the cost effective abstraction of water from currently unavailable blue water sources. Magimix will therefore help to maintain the security of our water supplies into the future.
