Project description
The main objective of the project is to develop and optimise an efficient, sustainable and compact water treatment method for water recovery in pulp and paper mills. The process combines the use of sustainable bio-based coagulants with a rapid coagulation–ultrafiltration process. The project will generate new knowledge on the suitability of bio-based coagulants for this application, as well as on strategies to control and mitigate membrane fouling. The project is led by Dr. Tiina Leiviskä.
