An international research has developed a membrane technology that could significantly reduce the energy required for crude ...

Municipal drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) and associated premise plumbing (PP) systems are vulnerable to proliferation of opportunistic pathogens, even when chemical disinfection residuals ...

In the new study, researchers performed a high-level analysis of membrane filtration systems to evaluate cost, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with desalination and ...

Standard dead-end sample filtration is used to improve sample purity, but is limited as particle build-up fouls the filter, leading to reduced recovery. The fouling layer can be periodically cleared ...

A rural town faces yet another summer with taps running dry and reservoirs hitting historic lows. Crops fail, local businesses scale back, and families ration every drop. Clean water is a daily gamble ...

The antimicrobial triclosan is widely used in personal hygiene products, textiles and plastics, but when it enters the environment via wastewater, it poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms. A ...

A Vanderbilt-led research team has made a significant breakthrough in developing advanced dialysis membranes using atomically thin materials like graphene. These innovative membranes, called ...

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, ...
