Valorisation of discharge water from substrate-grown crops in greenhouses

Due to mismatch of nutrients, high sodium concentration, growth inhibition or system failures, greenhouse growers with substrate-grown crops tend to discharge their drain water. To comply with Water Framework regulations, in future, they must re-use drain water streams as much as possible. With membrane distillation or reverse osmosis, about 80...

Verwijdering van fosfaat uit drainagewater: Elektroagulatie biedt perspectieven

Binnen het KRW-lnnovatieproject Puridrain is onderzocht op welke wijze nutriënten uit het drainagewater van landbouwgronden zijn te verwijderen. De methoden moeten effectiel goedkoop, duurzaam en flexibel inzetbaar zijn. ln H2O nr. 20 uit 2011 is een eerste artikel over het project Puridrain verschenen dat was gericht op de verwijdering van...

Fluoride in African groundwater: Occurrence and mitigation

Fluoride in groundwater has both natural and anthropogenic sources. Fluoride bearing minerals, volcanic gases and various industrial and agricultural activities can contribute to high concentrations. High intake of fluoride from drinking water is the main cause of fluorosis and may lead to many other health problems. Problems usually start with...

The QWERTY concept, a powerful concept for evaluating the environmental consequences of end-of-life processing of consumer electronic products

The QWERTY concept (Quotes for environmentally WEighted RecyclabiliTY) focuses on the determination of environmentally weighted recycling scores rather than weight-based recycling scores. The approach describes precisely what is happening in end-of-life scenarios from the environmental perspective. It is a very powerful concept in re-thinking...
