A magnetic system that dynamically adjusts the surface properties of a material used for solar-driven water purification has been created by researchers in China. Developed by Liangti Qu at Beijing’s Tsinghua University and colleagues, the system achieved higher evaporation rates when compared to static surfaces.

Membrane bioreactor better than activated sludge

More wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are transitioning from conventional activated sludge to the membrane bioreactor process. This is due to the membrane bioreactor’s small footprint and high effluent quality To better achieve environmental goals. Read More
