This applied research is based on a scientific experimental and numerical approach of reactive transfers in cohesive or non-cohesive granular media. It is also a social approach aimed at better preservation of natural resources, better protection of the coast and built heritage, and finally, it is a contribution to the development of new circular, local and sustainable pathways.
