REFORM
Repurposing forest and mining wastes into functional textiles for protective clothing.
Project team: Leonidas Matsakas (project Leader), Christakopoulos Paul, Alok Kumar Patel, Ulrika Rova
Partners: Farid Akhtar, Engineering Materials, TVM, LTU
Duration: 2023
Funded by Natural resources for sustainability transitions (SUN)
The proposal aims to initiate a new collaboration between the Biochemical Process Engineering and Engineering Materials groups at LTU in the field of green functional materials from residual forest and mining resources. As such, we will build upon the existing expertise of both groups and initiate a novel research line on the field of use of residual forest biomass for the preparation of green materials that will be used for the recovery of metals from mining wastewater and AMD, and in turn used as feedstock for the preparation of functional textiles for protective equipment.
