The field of advanced materials for water treatment and desalination is rapidly evolving, with an increasing emphasis on sustainability and resource ...

Rice University develops copper-aluminum material that destroys PFAS forever chemicals 100 times faster than current filters ...

While on missions without access to clean water, U. S. Marines face the challenge of procuring and storing enough drinking water to sustain them. Chemical engineers are working toward a realistic ...

The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...

Cities typically draw water from diverse sources, such as rivers, lakes, or reservoirs. Each source presents unique challenges, ranging from pollution concerns to industrial runoff. Pollution, both ...

Water is perhaps Earth’s most critical natural resource. Given increasing demand and increasingly stretched water resources, scientists are pursuing more innovative ways to use and reuse existing ...

Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

Assuring that a growing global population has access to clean water will require new water treatment methods. One of these next-generation methods involves a form of iron called ferrate, which creates ...

Scientists have found a water purification method combining ultraviolet light and chlorine that makes contaminated water safe to drink during toxic algae outbreaks, per Phys.org. This discovery ...

Contaminated water poses serious health risks, as seen in recent illness outbreaks. Experts warn that unsafe water can cause diseases like diarrhoea, cholera, and typhoid. Simple home purification ...
