Assessment and evaluation of an innovative adsorption product for environmental remediation.

土壤和水中的污染物和污染物会对环境和人类造成重大威胁 健康环境补救有几种工具，但采用的传统方法往往是 成本极高、耗时，并且在许多情况下导致污染物迁移到垃圾填埋场。 Activated白色有限公司是一家位于安大略省的公司，生产一种创新的吸附产品， 活性白色（AW），具有广阔的应用前景。与传统方法不同，AW是一种创新的， 廉价和快速的产品，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，使其具有优异的吸附和使用性能 在环境修复方面。该应用研究项目的主要目标是评估和评价 AW产品对有机和无机环境污染物的吸附能力， 确保在正常使用条件下不释放甲醛。目标将是评价 AW产品在吸附乙二醇污染废物（除冰液）、普通溶剂 和溶解的微量元素还将进行调查，以确定溶剂极性和pH值 可能会影响甲醛的释放。除了实验室规模的测试，对COSIA挑战的研究 - 将对AW产品的被动有机物处理技术和适用性进行评估和评价 通过文献回顾。与弗莱明学院的替代废水中心合作 治疗，AW产品将在6个月内进行表征和治疗能力评估 调查研究。这项应用研究的结果将使Activated白色有限公司能够充分评估其 产品，提供技术信誉和提高他们的市场地位。

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.
