Develops method for final storage of arsenic

From mines and smelters some waste containing high levels of arsenic will occur. Today, this waste ends up at different landfills, but in a new research project, Luleå Technical University's professor Jurate Kumpiene will develop a method for safe final storage of arsenic.

New processes make waste a valuable resource

Formas finances a new project in Energy Engineering with approximately SEK 9 million over three years. The aim is to develop, in cooperation with the waste industry, new methods for treating organic waste, to more efficiently utilize existing plants and make use of resources in the waste.

Less arsenic in groundwater

The research in waste technology at Luleå University in a new project to develop sophisticated methods and new technology to clean our groundwater from toxic substances. Small residues include arsenic although other toxins may be in the ground water, process water and soil.

Too lean to burn too fat to dump

Too lean to burn Too Fat To dump - TOOLF - is the name of a new research project where new methods to treat common but problematic types of waste will be developed. The research group in Waste Science and Technology at Luleå University working with this challenge.

23 million SEK will generate growth through smart environmental technology

The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth has granted environmental engineering project GREEN NORTH support from the European Regional Development Fund for a three year period.
