2019/09/13 NANOMATERIALS WITH ALGAE CLEAN CONTAMINATED WATER - Biopolymers extracted from natural sources, such as algae abundant on the coast, can be enormous allies in the removal of pollutants from water such as antibiotics and other drugs, herbicides and even organic dyes used by industry, pollutants these which are difficult to eliminate by wastewater treatment plants. Diário de Aveiro
2019/09/13 NANOMATERIALS WITH ALGAE CLEAN CONTAMINATED WATER - A team of researchers from the University of Aveiro (UA) demonstrated that nanomaterials prepared from these biopolymers have the ability to remove antibiotics and other drugs, herbicides and even organic dyes used by industry from water, pollutants that are difficult to eliminate by wastewater treatment plants. The secret of these adsorbents, according to the researchers, lies in their very small size, less than 100 nanometers, which allows allows a high contact area with water. Diário de Coimbra
2019/09/12 PORTUGUESE CREATE NANOMATERIALS MADE FROM ALGAE TO DEPOLLUTE WATER - A team of researchers from the University of Aveiro (UA) has shown that nanomaterials prepared from biopolymers extracted from algae have the ability to remove some pollutants from water. According to the research team, biopolymers extracted from natural sources, such as the algae abundant on the national coast, can be enormous allies in the removal of pollutants from water that are difficult to eliminate in treatment plants, such as antibiotics and other drugs.
