DISPO : Development of Innovative electrochemical devices applied to the monitoring of persistent pollutants in water
Persistent pollutants in water are problematic worldwide. Quantifications are usually carried out using sensitive laboratory methods, but there appears to be a crucial need for simple, quick, reliable and on-site analytical tools for control measurements (effluents, environment). This project aims to deepen the first proofs of concept for the detection of this type of pollutants, alone or in mixtures, in model and real media, and at different concentration levelsof interest.

MATURATION
OXYFILMS
Oxyfilms consists of the controlled electrodeposition of nanostructured films of a common metal oxide, equivalent to a natural mineral, on various substrates. These films spontaneously degrade organic pollutants into small molecules, or even completely (mineralisation), at low energy cost.
Initially, Oxyfilms technology will be used to treat industrial effluents, with the advantage of reducing the operational costs of treating organic pollutants. The technology could potentially reduce the use of activated carbon or simplify treatment processes.
In a second phase, the technology could be extended to markets that are more difficult to access from a regulatory point of view, such as drinking water.
