Compare and contrast: Modeling and analysis reveals technological, environmental challenges to increasing water recovery from desalination
EurekAlert! Climate change is making water scarcer. A promising method to combat this problem is desalination technology because it can tap seawater. Though desalination has potential, it also brings risks […]
Compare and contrast: Low-cost method removes micro- and nanoplastics from water
Phys.org The procedure developed at USP uses magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with polydopamine, a polymer derived from dopamine, a neurotransmitter present in the human organism. These nanoparticles can bind to micro- […]
Dalhousie researchers design low-cost device that can help fight water scarcity
CBC A dome-shaped device floating in Halifax’s Northwest Arm could easily be confused with a buoy, but it is actually a contraption meant to turn ocean water into fresh water. […]
Compare and contrast: News Release 8-Nov-2024′ Greener and cleaner: Yeast-green algae mix improves water treatment
EurekAlert! The active sludge method of wastewater treatment requires electricity to ensure the flow of oxygen that feeds bacteria and other organisms that process the water. Adding microalgae to conduct […]
Compare and contrast: Microplastics impact cloud formation, likely affecting weather and climate
Phys.org Microplastics act as ice nucleating particles, microscopic aerosols that facilitate the formation of ice crystals in clouds. This means that microplastics could impact precipitation patterns, weather forecasting, climate modeling […]
