LRO05 - Develop simple naval equipment that can capture heavy metals dissolved in Oceans || développer des équipements navals simplespour capter les métaux lourds dissous dans les océans

Technological tool capable of capturing heavy metals dissolved in the oceans in order to spare ecosystems. Ideally, this tool would correspond to a standard installation in boats.

• define technologies capable of responding to this objective passively *
• adapt these technologies to the targeted media (naval, nautical, submerged structures)
• develop theoretical prototypes and their description
• characterize their production (technological incubators, necessary industrial capacity, costs, etc.)
• define areas of use: from micro - within a given geographic landscape (ports, basins, etc.) to macro - transnational or transcontinental (rivers, coastal strips, etc.)

• determine the physicochemical mechanisms capable of fixing heavy metals dissolved in seawater (osmosis, polymerization, etc.)
• determine materials or technologies capable of activating these mechanisms (natural or synthetic materials, nanotechnologies, objects, machines, etc.)
• bring together already existing technologies in physico-chemical water pollution control
• characterize the naval and nautical constraints in terms of environment and equipment (oxidation, electrolysis, etc.)
• develop one or more prototypes by describing their characteristics
