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 ...

Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that. Researchers at Monash University have developed a groundbreaking water filtration ...

High-performing water filtration systems — necessary for reducing water scarcity — can also reduce cost and energy consumption, a new Northwestern Engineering-led analysis finds. In the new study, ...

An international collaboration led by Kobe University researchers has successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic (*1) membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and ...

Water desalination technologies play a vital role in converting saltwater into freshwater in parts of the world where access to the latter is lacking, but there is plenty of room for improvement. One ...

Deep sea pressure reverse osmosis at 400 to 600 meters drives membrane filtration, cutting energy use more than 50 percent and giving coastal cities safer drinking water.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanofluidic membranes based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising materials for next-generation water desalination and purification. For instance, pristine and ...

(Nanowerk News) Although most of the planet is covered by water, only a fraction of it is clean enough for humans to use. Therefore, it is important to recycle this resource whenever possible. Current ...

Water may cover the majority of the planet's surface, but thanks to a huge helping of salt, it's hard to tap into as a source of drinking water. Once again, graphene could come to the rescue.

Membranes with microscopic pores are useful for water filtration. The effect of pore size on water filtration is well-understood, as is the role of ions, charged atoms, that interact with the membrane ...
