ekolive

Bioleaching-Bioremediation-Biostimulants ekolive is the first and leading provider of a new ecological bioleaching method for the ecological release of elements and the breakdown of toxic compounds with consecutive production of biostimulants. I. ekolive offers an ecological #biotechnology for refining locally available, but non-valuable mineral resources such as quartz sand, clay minerals, kaolin, bentonite, feldspar, carbonates etc. into high-quality raw materials. Low quality of local deposits is caused by metallic impurities which dramatically reduce their value and usability. By a low-cost, non-hazardous removal of impurities on industrial scale ekolive increases raw materials ́ value, their accessibility and usability while producing biostimulats and biofertilizer for organic agriculture. II. ekolive offers a natural and environmentally friendly biotechnology for the ecological release of metallic elements and for the breakdown of toxic compounds in primary and secondary raw materials, waste, soils and sediments. Our environment is highly endangered - not just air and water, but also the soil. Contaminated sites endanger our livelihoods. At the same time, we are overexploiting the limited availability of primary raw materials - and on the other hand we do not know what to do with the contaminated remains of our industries. By inexpensive, safe biotechnological removal (#bioleaching with heterotrophic bacteria) of metallic and organic contaminants on an industrial scale, ekolive solves environmental problems of an organic and inorganic nature in a sustainable way - both in-situ and ex-situ. #bioremediation ekolive is supported by EIT Food (https://www.eitfood.eu/) and EIT RawMaterials (https://www.eitrawmaterials.eu).
