Anthony Straub (r) with PhD student Kian Lopez in a lab. Anthony Straub is making revolutionary advances in water purification for life on Earth and in space. Using nanoscale membranes—thinner than ...

The process water treatment industry has experienced a remarkable transformation due to innovative technologies in an ever-changing environment. Advanced technologies are being used to improve water ...

An engineering team from The University of Austin has collaborated with international scientists to develop a process that filters salt and other elements out of water more efficiently. The process ...

It is becoming increasingly difficult to produce sufficient drinking water, and this process also releases large amounts of the harmful greenhouse gas methane. For his Ph.D. thesis, microbiologist ...

Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids, and gases from water. The goal is to produce water fit for specific purposes. Most water ...

Professor Park Chi-Young's team successfully developed an atypical porous polymer material that can completely remove phenolic organic contaminants in water at ultra-high speeds. The porous material ...

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 ...

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 ...

"When people talk about toilet to tap, I always say it's not toilet to tap, it's toilet to treatment to treatment to treatment to treatment to tap. So it's being treated more than our water supply." ...
