Organised by Ademe, The French Agency for Ecological Transition, participants will discover the advances and highlights over the last 5 years in the field of polluted sites and soils. Discussions focus on issues relating to the management of soils, whether urban, industrial or agricultural, polluted by industrial, mining or service activities.

Sylvain Delchini, SOLSA project manager for BRGM, is present with an oral presentation of the results from the field campaign carried out at the former Abbaretz mining site, France. He explained the findings of combined chemical and mineralogical analysis, using a compact XRD-XRF analyser developped by TerrAnalytiX, in the context of arsenic decontamination.

A SOLSA BRGM team took the opportunity to participate in the SiDoS workshop (Massive Sequential Data Similarity: definition, calculation and optimization).

TerrAnalytiX present at Pollutec 2024!

Henry Pillière, CEO of TerrAnalytiX, participapted in the roundtable "Mining waste: from managing risk to managing potential resources"

Maud Herbelin (ErametIdeas) gave an oral presentation "The pros or cons of X-ray diffraction vs electron beam techniques in the assessment of mineral assemblages: improvements of Solsa combined XRD-XRF analyses applied to the Grande Cote Operation Ti-Zr mine, Senegal"

SOLSA partners BRGM and Inel Innov were present at the Pollutec trade fair, the place to be for environmental
and energy solutions 

The Pollutec trade fair is known to be the most important event for environmental professionals. It is also a showcase for environmental solutions for industry, cities and regions, and a springboard for market innovations and international development. 

• 11 exhibition areas: a platform for all the equipment, technologies and services for the prevention and treatment of all types of pollution and acts for the preservation of the environment and the implementation of sustainable development
• >20 conference zones: a rich programme with high profile speakers and debates
• Springboard for market innovations and international development
