Key points
  • Technical research
    • Functionalization of base product
    • Surface, funtionalization, optimum grain size, optimum pH, conductivity
    • CE-Mark
    • Methods for Chemical analysis
  • Marketing
    • Market research in Finland (Southwest)
    • Market research in Germany, Lithuania
  • Chemical analysis
    • Define base-product nutrients
    • Adsorb nutrients (N & P) and metals (Cu, Ni, Fe)
Explanation

Using a ash aggregate as a adsorbent to clean wastewater.

1. Circular economy - The product is a renewable based on industrial ash.
2. The product has low density and high porosity.
3. Use it as a adsorbent for nutrients (N & P) and metals (Cu, Ni, Fe).

Potential customers

 The product is needed in the industry that uses raw water and/or treats wastewater. For example; mining industry, paper mill, pulp mill, oil refinery and chemical industry. Additionally you can use product to prevent river waters from the contamination of fertilizers.

Comments for peer group´s mindmaps: Please, put the link also to the blog. 1.  Swedish learning game -groups blog The mindmap contained a lot of ideas and information about the project.  In the map was plenty of things that needs to think about during the project etc. avatars or the music.  The layout of the mindmap could have been a bit more clear. 2.  A New Animal Nutrient -groups blog   Mindmap is clear, simple (in a good way), easy to follow and cycle of project is summarise in mindmap very well. Perhaps there could be more, like what kind of laboratory work etc. 3.  http://iot.piha.me/    Mindmap included lots of ideas, but still it was really clear and easy to read. And after the map there was a little memo about how they created the mindmap. That memo was nice, because it wasn't like the other ones  Comments for peer groups ideatrees:  Please, put the link also to the blog. 1. Jaakko 2. Pasi 3. Ervina...

Capstone is an innovative learning environment for the student and a solution for the customer Capstone applies the CDIO method to develop and rethink education, which then matches business needs better. Tight integration between research and practice combined with methods of innovation pedagogy develop the students’ abilities to meet actual situations that occur in working life. The result is future workers who are more skilled and more realistic. The primary task of the Capstone Innovation Project is to produce a prototype of a product or service that a company needs, or a potential solution to an as yet unsolved problem. Capstone encourages the companies to boldly try new approaches, test new ideas in a user-centered way and engage potential customers with the designing process. Success requires failures too! A team of students from different fields and international students bring a new aspect to new ideas and solutions and give a good starting point to bring out new ...
