A processing unit of bio-sourced magnetic activated carbon featured in magnetic separation for water treatment – Step 1

Category: Hypothesis testing projects

The project ran between November 2022 and May 2023.

Magnetic activated carbon (MAC) is produced from biomass waste, and a bench processing unit for MAC was developed for water treatment use. This project planned to design, manufacture, and test a pilot processing unit, with magnetic separation continuous water treatment. The validation of such a unit would enable a precise calculation of the carbon footprint, determine the competing merits and market opportunity of MAC.

Participants

Radma Carbon AB, Ramson AB and Fortum Waste Solution AB.

Budget

The project’s total budget was 2 500 000 SEK.
