Pollutants and contaminants found in soil and water can pose significant threats to the environment and human health. Several tools exist for environmental remediation however traditional methods employed tend to be extremely costly, time-consuming, and in many cases result in the relocation of contaminants to a landfill. Activated White Ltd. is an Ontario-based company that manufactures an innovative adsorption product, termed Activated White (AW), with wide application potential. Unlike traditional methods used, AW is an innovative, inexpensive and fast-acting product capable of safely extracting pollutants from contaminated sources. AW is a urea formaldehyde resin; a porous material with high surface area which make it excellent at sorption and use in environmental remediation. The primary goals of this applied research project are to assess and evaluate the sorption capabilities of the AW product for both organic and inorganic environmental contaminants and to ensure that formaldehyde is not released under normal use conditions. The objectives will be to evaluate the AW product in terms of its capacity to adsorb glycol contaminated wastes (de-icing fluids), common solvents and dissolved trace elements. Investigations will also be undertaken to determine how solvent polarity and pH may influence the release of formaldehyde. In addition to bench-scale tests, research on the COSIA Challenges - Passive Organics Treatment Technology and applicability of the AW product will be assessed and evaluated through a literature review. In collaboration with Fleming College's Centre for Alternative Wastewater Treatment, the AW product will be characterized and assessed for treatment capabilities over a 6-month research study. Results from this applied research will allow Activated White Ltd. to fully assess their product, providing technical credibility and improving their market position.

土壤和水中发现的污染物和污染物可能对环境和人类构成重大威胁 健康。存在多种环境修复工具，但采用的传统方法往往是 成本极其高昂、耗时，并且在许多情况下会导致污染物被转移到垃圾填埋场。 Activated White Ltd. 是一家总部位于安大略省的公司，生产一种创新的吸附产品，称为 活性白（AW），具有广泛的应用潜力。与使用的传统方法不同，AW 是一种创新的、 廉价且见效快的产品，能够安全地从污染源中提取污染物。 AW 是 脲醛树脂；具有高表面积的多孔材料，使其具有出色的吸附和使用性能 在环境整治方面。该应用研究项目的主要目标是评估和评估 AW 产品对有机和无机环境污染物的吸附能力 确保正常使用条件下不释放甲醛。目标是评估 AW 产品具有吸附乙二醇污染废物（除冰液）、常见溶剂的能力 和溶解的微量元素。还将进行调查以确定溶剂极性和 pH 值如何影响 可能会影响甲醛的释放。除了小规模测试外，还对 COSIA 挑战进行研究 - 被动有机物处理技术和AW产品的适用性将被评估和评价 通过文献综述。与弗莱明学院替代废水中心合作 治疗，AW 产品将在 6 个月的时间内进行表征和治疗能力评估 研究性学习。这项应用研究的结果将使 Activated White Ltd. 能够充分评估他们的 产品，提供技术可信度并提高其市场地位。
