The use of safely reclaimed water for agriculture irrigation is a promising solution to address water shortages, especially on Gotland. One primary concern is the introduction of organic micropollutants (OMPs), such as pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, into the agricultural ecosystem and food chain. OMPs can be potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic and could harm human health if they are present in agricultural products. This project aims to develop techniques to remove OMPs from reclaimed water using biochar, so that it can be safely reused for agricultural irrigation of food crops. The objectives are to 1) identify the most relevant OMPs in reclaimed water, 2) assess the capacity of biochar prepared from different renewable feedstock for removal of OMPs, 3) evaluate the thermal degradation of OMPs during re-pyrolysis/regeneration of biochar, and 4) communicate the results with food industry stakeholders.
Användandet av säkert återanvänt vatten för bevattning inom jordbruket är en lovande lösning för att adressera vattenbrist, särskilt på Gotland. En primär oro är införandet av organiska miljöföroreningar (OMPs), så som läkemedelsrester och andra kemikalier, till jordbrukets ekosystem samt näringskedjan. OMPs kan potentiellt vara persistenta, bioackumulerande, toxiska och kan påverka den mänskliga hälsan om de förekommer i jordbruksvaror. Detta projekt har som mål att utveckla tekniker för att reducera OMPs från återanvänt vatten genom användandet av biokol, så att det säkert kan återanvändas för bevattning av matgrödor. Målen är att 1) identifiera de mest relevanta OMPs i återanvänt vatten, 2) utvärdera kapaciteten av biokol framställt från olika förnybara råmaterial för reduceringen av OMPs, 3) utvärdera termiska degradering av OMPs under pyrolys/återaktiveringen av biokol, och 4) kommunicera resultaten med livsmedelsindustrins intressenter.

Even if Sweden is historically regarded as a water-affluent country, lately sustainable water use and water circularity have become topics of high concern. Irrigation is dependent on high quality water resources, and the need for accessible water resources becomes stronger under exceptionally dry …

An improved strategy for agricultural drainage is important for both economic and environmental reasons. There are indications on environmental benefits of a good drainage but lack of studies that directly shows this. The aim of the project is to develop a basis for design recommendations for new …

Swedish biogas production is crucial to reach environmental and climate targets and manure represents a great potential, corresponding to ca 2,7 Twh. However, the production from manure-based facilities currently only reaches around ca 64 GWh. Due to the character of manure it is difficult to reach …

The use of fungicides in potatoes is in many cases unnecessarily large in relation to the risk of infestation of late
blight and tuber blight. With increased and better knowledge of potato late blight and tuber blight, the average control
intensity can probably be reduced by 25–50%. With the …

Cultivation of legumes will increase due to several factors. Among these are extraction of plant-based proteins for human consumption, a demand for increased self-sufficiency of vegetable proteins within the country, reduced costs for fertilisers by N-fixation in the legumes, and use of legumes as …
