We all know that trees do a lot of good, right? But did you know that trees contain cellulose nanocrystals, which are great at absorbing pollutants? 🌳
Based on this knowledge, Chalmers University of Technology has developed a new, cellulose-based material that can purify contaminated water.
By using this method, up to 80% of pollutants in water can be absorbed. This has the potential to make a big impact in areas where access to clean water is limited. 💧 The treatment system – which is simple and portable – is connected to a sewage pipe.💧 The cellulose-based material in the system works as a filter. 💧 The contaminated water passes through the filter.💧 The filter absorbs the pollutants, which are broken down by sunlight, without the need for additional energy or heat.
