Tibor Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Does anyone have any experience in these areas?
TheAuger Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 ChristopherScience owns a firm that does something with bio-remediation, as I recall.
FriendlyHacker Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Graphene is a material composed of a 1 atom thick horizontal mesh of carbon, and that means that the mesh has enough space between the carbon atoms for hydrogen and oxigen to go through the mesh, but not enough space for organisms composed of many atoms to fit into the holes, or even not enough space for larger (often radioactive) atoms to go through.So you would be able to pour raw sewage from one side and collect pure h2o on the other side. The big issue with this technology is that it is quite fucking hard to build 1 atom thick meshes in large industrial scale.
Dave Bockman Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I am a Landscape Architrect with some small knowledge in phytoremedioation and generally in bioremediation. What's your project?
Tibor Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Hey, Dave. Sorry for the response delay. I am designing a unit operation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_operation) for the removal of fecals, TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, oil & grease through the use of mycofiltration. Basically a packed bed reactor filled with substrate. Inoculate the substrate with mushroom spores and let the mycelium grow out. The mycelial mat serves as a physical filter (removal of TSS, TDS), and secretes oxidative enzymes that break down O&G, fecals. It's a very low-cost system, however maintenance will likely be a problem. Sound interesting to you?
