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 ...

Imagine a device that not only purifies water but also recycles waste, all at an affordable price. Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have made this a reality, creating a water purifier ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new process for purifying water could mean a big future for a small Midland company. Mel Cabey, president of Diazem Corp., said his company's technology is a breakthrough that could mean millions of ...
