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

该项目将见证Magimix的发展，这是一种新型、高效、低成本的去除溶解有机碳(DOC)的技术，DOC是有机水污染的组成部分。DOC会导致水变色，是致癌物质的前体，当DOC与消毒过程中使用的氯反应时，会形成致癌物质。水务公司有义务从水中去除DOC，以确保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，并继续上升，导致高昂的处理成本，导致一些集水区对于使用现有技术进行取水变得不经济。该项目将验证Magimix的使用，这是一种从水中去除有机污染物的新技术，通过这样做，将为英国和全球水务行业提供一种新技术，能够经济高效地从目前不可用的蓝色水源中提取水。因此，Magimix将帮助维持我们未来的供水安全。

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.
