The laboratory is testing new water treatment technologies on lab-scale, followed by upscaling in pilot demo-sites to make sure these technologies can be implemented on industrial scale. With regard to water technology, the group is mainly focussing on advanced oxidation process and physical-chemical water treatment. In the field of ecotechnology, the group is focussing on microplastics removal in constructed wetlands, water treatment with natural systems and algal technology.  \r\n\r\nWithin the marine context, the group is  studying the characteristics and removal of microplastics in constructed wetlands, the biological growth of microalgae through microalgae cultivation and kinetic modelling, development of decentralised/mobile water treatment systems and removal of organic micropollutants with different techniques such as advanced oxidation.","AbstractOtherLang":"Het laboratorium voor Industrial Water and Ecotechnology (LIWET) richt zich zowel op watertechnologie als op ecotechnologie.
