I am applying for a grant to construct filters for stormwater management in environmentally sensitive locations. 

According to published studies, effective water filters can be made with biochar and various elements. For example, certain biochars have been demonstrated to filter phosphorous effectively (for one example) using a lanthanum zeolite compound in connections with specific feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, etc. - 

Is there a business (or research facility?) already in existence that can make filtration compounds to match the specifications of a scientific study and produce them at a reasonable price, in a real-world volume?  

If not, might this represent a good business opportunity?

Hello Robert,

I think there is nothing applying this idea to the industry. Filteration of phosphorous through biochar is new to me. This will be a very nice start up idea. I attached an article about the topic. Also, you can see the link - https://www.soilfixer.co.uk/Biochar-for-Water-and-Gas-Filtration

Thanking you,

Paul
