Research project Activated limestone to reduce the eutrophication in the Baltic Sea

In close collaboration with various actors, we study how activated limestone can be used to reduce the phosphorus concentration in the Baltic Sea. The project involves large-scale synthesis of adsorbents as well as studies in the field in Kyrkviken in Östergötland.
