OZONATION
Ozonation generates hydroxyl radicals with the help of light radiation to attack and destroy any organic molecules to CO2, H2O and mineral salts.
Agrochemical remediation of farm soils by combining solarization and ozonation techniques
The pilot project aims at developing and tuning at farm scale a new technology and its associated techniques
The project will be implemented in Spain, Murcia, and has a duration of 48 months (2018-2022)
Ozonation generates hydroxyl radicals with the help of light radiation to attack and destroy any organic molecules to CO2, H2O and mineral salts.
Solarization is based on the placement of a transparent plastic on the floor during the summer months, when temperature and light radiation are more intense.
In Europe around 395.000 tonnes of pesticides are consumed per year, where Spain is the first one, followed by France and Germany.
Concentrations of pesticides exceeding the regulatory level are generally detected in groundwater underlying areas of intensive agriculture.
In Europe there is a surface of around 10,224Mha irrigated at least once a year.
Spain, Greece, Italy, France and Portugal are the countries where the drop irrigation system is most used across Europe.
