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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Regions particularly affected include Southern and Central Asia, as well as North Africa, where the situation is critical. Even countries with advanced infrastructure, such as the United States, are ...

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 ...

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has evaluated promising large-scale technologies to filter out a class of harmful industrial "forever chemicals" commonly found in the country's drinking water. Known ...

According to a 2018 study, 94% of tap water samples from the U.S. are contaminated with microplastics, the highest level in the world. Another study found bottled water is no purer: 93% of samples ...

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