The aim of this project is to address the issue of pharmaceutical micro-pollutants which are present in waste water sources. These pollutants have been linked with antimicrobial resistance around the world. Activated carbon (AC) is a well-known commercial material used for removal of organic and inorganic pollutants in water, which is prepared using carbonaceous precursors, including coal, peat and coconut shells. However, the use of AC is not sustainable. This project will focus on developing alternate, sustainable advanced materials for water treatment applications. A previously developed manufacturing technology for the production of highly porous glass microspheres will be applied to natural materials to manufacture highly porous microspheres from alternative, sustainable, non-resorbable glass alternatives and natural materials.

该项目的目的是解决废水源中存在的制药微污染物问题。这些污染物与世界各地的抗菌素耐药性有关。活性炭（AC）是用于去除水中的有机和无机污染物的众所周知的商业材料，其使用碳质前体（包括煤、泥炭和椰子壳）制备。然而，AC的使用是不可持续的。该项目将专注于开发用于水处理应用的替代，可持续的先进材料。先前开发的用于生产高度多孔玻璃微球的制造技术将应用于天然材料，以从替代的、可持续的、不可再吸收的玻璃替代品和天然材料制造高度多孔的微球。
