This article was presented as a position paper during the Environmental Biotechnology and Microbiology Conference in Bologna, Italy in April 2012. It indicates major and emerging environmental biotechnology research and development (R&D) priorities for EU members in the field of sustainable remediation and purification of agro-industrial and municipal wastewater. The identified priorities are: anaerobic/aerobic microbial treatment, combination of photochemical and biological treatment, phytoremediation and algae-based remediation, as well as innovative technologies currently investigated, such as enzyme-based treatment, bioelectrochemical treatment and recovery of nutrients and reuse of cleaned water. State of the art, research needs and prospective development in these domains are crucially discussed. As a result, goals of the future development of bioremediation and purification processes are defined and the way to achieve them is proposed.
本文作为一份立场文件,在 2012 年 4 月于意大利博洛尼亚举行的环境生物技术和微生物学会议上提交。它指出了欧盟成员国在可持续修复和净化农业工业和城市废水中的主要和新兴环境生物技术研究和开发(R&D)重点。确定的重点是:厌氧/好氧微生物处理、光化学和生物处理的结合、植物修复和基于藻类的修复,以及目前正在研究的创新技术,如基于酶的处理、生物电化学处理以及营养物质的回收和清洁水的再利用。这些领域的最新技术、研究需求和未来发展前景都进行了关键性讨论。因此,确定了生物修复和净化过程未来发展的目标,并提出了实现这些目标的方法。
