Filter membrane renders viruses harmless Date: June 3, 2021 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Researchers are developing a new filter membrane that is highly efficient at filtering and inactivating a ...

Enteroviruses are extremely tough and acid-resistant and remain in the water for a very long time, so the filter membrane should be particularly attractive to poorer countries as a way to help prevent ...

This represented a 15 fold increase compared with the 293 mm disc filter area and a 1.9 fold increase compared with the first pleated filter. The development of an effective filtration area resulted ...

Now, Asatekin has finally found a solution to filtering fluoride out of water. In a new paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Asatekin and her lab designed a ...

In the end, membranes need to be replaced fairly frequently. Enter the new filter design. Known as a liquid-gated membrane (LGM), the filter is coated with a liquid that acts like a reversible gate.

NIT-C researchers develop membrane to filter microplastics ‘The gap between fibres in this membrane is smaller than micro or nano plastic materials and hence can filter such materials completely ...

To test the Graphair filter, the scientist coated a commercially available water filter with Graphair and analyzed the water filtered with it. The membrane filtered more than 99% of contaminants.

One side of the membrane is heated, causing the liquid to turn into water vapor as it passes over it. As the water travels through the membrane, it leaves the salt behind it.
