99.9% water contaminants removed in 10 seconds

In News
  • South Koran scientists have come up with a new system of water purification that they claim can remove 99.9 per cent of the contaminants out of water in just 10 seconds.
About the Technology
  • A porous material with a highly efficient, molecularly engineered framework was used as an adsorption material.
  • A highly efficient molecularly engineered covalent triazine framework (CTF) for rapid adsorption of micropollutants and VOC-intercepting performance using solar distillation is reported.
  • Supramolecular design and mild oxidation of CTFs (CTF-OXs) enable hydrophilic internal channels and improve molecular sieving of micropollutants. CTF-OX shows rapid removal efficiency of micropollutants (>99.9% in 10 s) and can be regenerated several times without performance loss.
Microplastics
  • Microplastics, tiny plastic particles that are less than 5mm in size, have become a global problem.
  • They have been found in water bodies, soil, and air, and have even made their way into the human food chain.
