Plant-inspired polymers for water purification

German-Japanese research team takes inspiration from nature, creating a polymer that selectively removes toxic heavy metal ions from water

31-Jul-2024 - Clean drinking water is a basic demand for our health and wellbeing. However, as the global population grows, achieving this for all communities worldwide becomes more challenging. Now, in a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the HeKKSaGOn Alliance – involved were ...

Nanofibers rid water of hazardous dyes

Waste to purify water - it sounds paradoxical, but that is exactly what has now been achieved

25-Apr-2024 - Dyes, such as those used in the textile industry, are a major environmental problem. At TU Wien, efficient filters have now been developed – based on cellulose waste. Using waste to purify water may sound counterintuitive. But at TU Wien, this is exactly what has now been achieved: a special ...

Clean water from fog

A property known as photocatalytic memory ensures that this also functions when skies are overcast and at night

25-Aug-2023 - Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and ETH Zurich are using a specially coated metal mesh to extract water from fog while removing environmental pollutants. People in dry but foggy areas could benefit. It's already being done in Peru, Bolivia and Chile, but also in ...

Cleaning water with ‘smart rust’ and magnets

New method for pollutants such as crude oil, glyphosate, microplastics and hormones

22-Aug-2023 - Pouring flecks of rust into water usually makes it dirtier. But researchers of FAU have developed special iron oxide nanoparticles they call “smart rust” that actually makes it cleaner. Smart rust can attract many substances, including oil, nano- and microplastics, as well as the herbicide ...

PFAS contaminated water becomes clean again

Promising and environmentally friendly process developed

25-Jul-2023 - There are many man-made environmental pollutants. One of the most serious is pollution with the harmful perpetual chemical PFAS, which can be found in many soils and waters and thus also in our food. Although it is possible to remove it, it is costly and produces hazardous waste. Now, researchers ...

Magnetic bacteria can help to extract dangerous heavy metals from wastewater

Filigree sewage plants

10-May-2023 - A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria. The name derives from their ability to react to magnetic fields. They can accumulate dissolved heavy metal in their ...

Plasma against toxic PFAS chemicals

“Ideally, the harmful PFAS substances are eliminated to the point that they can no longer be detected in mass spectrometric measurements”

04-May-2023 - Harmful PFAS chemicals can now be detected in many soils and bodies of water. Removing them using conventional filter techniques is costly and almost infeasible. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB are now successfully implementing a ...

New wood-based technology removes 80% of dye pollutants in wastewater

Method can also be used against other types of pollutants

31-Mar-2023 - Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new method that can easily purify contaminated water using a cellulose-based material. This discovery could have implications for countries with poor water treatment technologies and combat the widespread problem of toxic ...

Researchers uncover new water monitoring technique

New method simultaneously monitors clumps and the mixing intensity in a single step

03-Mar-2023 - Water is a vital resource, and clean water is a necessity. Texas A&M University researchers have developed a new technique to monitor one of the key processes of purifying water in real time. Raw water contains microscopic pathogens that are too small to remove during water and wastewater ...

Designing better water filters with AI

Study demonstrates AI’s usefulness toward developing water purification membranes with novel properties

07-Dec-2022 - Even the best water filters let some things through, but designing improved materials and then testing them is time consuming and difficult. Now, researchers in ACS Central Science report that artificial intelligence (AI) could speed up the development of promising materials. In a ...
