Science breakthrough removes nearly all BPA from water at very low cost

A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Auckland, and Oregon State University has recently developed a catalyst that effectively eliminates nearly all traces of bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The new catalysts, called tetra-amido macrocyclic ligands (TAML) activators are small molecules that are known to mimic oxidizing enzymes. According to the researchers, combining the […]

Carbon nanotube material removes 99% of heavy metals from water

A set of innovative filters were found to eliminate up to 99 percent of heavy metals in contaminated water. The filters, produced in a Rice University laboratory, was developed from carbon nanotube materials that were grown in place on chemically-epoxidized quartz fibers. Lab findings showed that the filter was able to absorb more than 99 percent of metals from […]
