I’m sure we have all heard of public health agencies issuing “boil water” orders when the source of drinking water may have been contaminated, such as during a disaster. Really, what we want to be ...

Solar stills provide a clever and simple means of purifying dirty or salty water, but they work at a rather slow rate. A new material has been shown to boost their performance, and it's made from ...

Advances have been made that can allow us to purify seawater to make it drinkable by using Graphene Oxide (GO). The process is a mixture of ion sieving and desalination. A team from Manchester ...

A team developed photothermal porous polymer capable of ultra-fast adsorption and removal of phenolic microplastics and VOC contaminants in water. Showing the potential as a next-generation water ...

Chemists have demonstrated that water remediation can be powered in part -- and perhaps even exclusively -- by renewable energy sources. Using electrochemistry to separate different particles within a ...

To help alleviate health issues caused by pathogens in water, a team of CU Boulder mechanical engineering students collaborated on a senior capstone project last spring to create PureSip, a prototype ...

A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests that renewable solar energy could play a crucial role in purifying water. Traditionally, electrochemical separation has been ...
