NANOKAT
NANOKAT - Nanoscale bio-composite materials as biocatalysts
for the treatment of MTBE/ETBE-contaminated water
Sub-project: Modelling of MTBE/ETBE-reducing filter materials
Simulating the application of biocere in typical MTBE/ETBE contamination situations
Modelling comprises the mathematical description of the application sites using soil-hydraulic parameters and MTBE parameters, as well as the MTBE degradation kinetics of a biocer. This shall be implemented in a software to simulate the effects of the biocer on a specific site.
Focus shall be put on the temporal and spatial development of the biocer degradation, the prognosis of the MTBE concentration entering the groundwater after the biocer degradation effect, the behaviour of MTBE in groundwater and the determination of the efficiency of the biosorbent.

The aim of this project is to develop a nanoscale biocomposite material (a biocer), which will be suitable for the enhanced natural attenuation of MTBE/ETBE and for treating MTBE/ETBE-contaminated drinking water. In the subproject the aim is to model biocers in typical situations.Modelling comprises the mathematical description of the application sites using soil-hydraulic parameters and MTBE parameters, as well as the MTBE degradation kinetics of a biocer. This shall be implemented in a software to simulate the effects of the biocer on a specific site.
Focus shall be put on the temporal and spatial development of the biocer degradation, the prognosis of the MTBE concentration entering the groundwater after the biocer degradation effect, the behaviour of MTBE in groundwater and the determination of the efficiency of the biosorbent.
