Descripción del proyecto
Within ERC Starting Grant “Mech-Evo-Insect”, we have identified a new principle to filter small particles such as microplastics from water. This filtration principle is used in a variety of organisms but one particular example, the filtration used by suspension feeding fish, is promising to filter diverse waste waters. The idea of the PoC “SuspensionFlow” is to transfer this principle to a filtration unit which can be used in all household washing machines to reduce global microplastics emissions. SuspensionFlow will also serve to further patent relevant discoveries based on the filtration used by suspension feeding fish.
