Subproducts resulting from disinfecting drinkable water
For his PhD thesis, Unai Iriarte Velasco analysed strategies for reducing levels of subproducts from the disinfection of drinkable water and their application in optimising the functioning of water treatment plants. view more (2005-09-09)
Delft water-purification method promises radical improvement
Delft University of Technology research has discovered a method that could drastically change the way we purify water within a few years. view more (2006-06-27)
Urine collected and purified separately
From an environmental and cost perspective, it is a good idea to collect and purify urine separately, rather than simply allowing it to flow into the sewer view more (2006-06-23)
Robust sensor yields cleaner car exhaust
Emissions from cars have to be reduced further in order to meet today's environmental demands. A new and robust exhaust sensor developed by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden has proven to meter the consistency of exhaust gases extremely well and is now on its way to the market. view more (2005-04-27)
Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new generation of biomimetic membranes for water treatment and drug delivery. view more (2007-11-30)
Calcite, a filter for water-borne arsenic?
An experiment at the Institut Laue-Langevin raises great hopes. view more (2005-02-10)
Cleaner water through nanotechnology
Tiny particles of pure silica coated with an active material could be used to remove toxic chemicals, bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous materials from water much more effectively and at lower cost than conventional water purification methods, according to researchers writing in the current issue of the International Journal of Nanotechnology. view more (2008-02-20)
Water recycling in the textile finishing industry
The treatment and recycling of colored wastewater from dyestuffs producing and textile finishing industries have always been a non-trivial problem for the sewage engineering sector. The recycling of process water of textile mills is often hindered by remaining colour of azo-dyes after conventional wastewater treatment. Because of rising costs of... view more... (2002-11-22)
Countering an Approaching Water Crisis
As growing demand for clean water stretches even the resources of the world's largest industrialized nations, scientists and engineers are turning to new technology and novel ideas to find solutions. view more (2008-03-24)
Adding high doses of sludge to neutralise soil acidity not advisable
A University of the Basque Country PhD thesis has analysed the application of waste sludge from EDAR (Estación Depuradora de Aguas Residuales - Waste Water Purification Plant) to acid soils which have limited capacity for neutralising the acidity. view more (2009-01-09)
Novel bacterial strains clear algal toxins from drinking water
Novel bacterial strains capable of neutralizing toxins produced by blue-green algae have been identified by researchers at Robert Gordon's University, Aberdeen. view more (2009-09-08)
New collaboration between Amersham Biosciences and Affibody increases potential in protein purification
Under the agreement, the two companies will work to develop affinity-based products for use in the production processes for protein-based pharmaceuticals. The development of these products will be based on Affibodies™, a novel class of small, robust affinity proteins designed to bind desired protein targets. Financial details of the... view more...

Filter That Makes Viruses Adhere
Siberian researchers have developed a biologically active sorbent of a new generation. The sorbent provides for the 100-percent efficient water purification from microorganisms and bacteriophages. Microbiological researches were performed with partial support of the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) grant. view more (2005-03-25)
Purification of purines through electroflotation
ADE Biotec and the INASMET Foundation, both from the Basque Country, after three years of working together, have developed a new purification technique for purines. The technique is based on electroflotation and could be very beneficial for agriculture as it has a high level (80%+) of purification and very low costs (1 euro/m3). Most of the... view more...

Bacteria discovery aids food production, water purification
The search for a type of bacteria that creates better ice cream and artificial snow has suddenly become a lot easier, thanks to a discovery by Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker. view more (2006-10-02)
IFST Advisory Statement --Contamination of Water: Boil Water Advice
The Institute of Food Science & Technology, through its Public Affairs and Technical & Legislative Committees, with advice from its Professional Food Microbiology Group, has authorised this Advisory Statement, dated January 2004. Introduction In the event of microbiological contamination of mains water supplies, water utilities in the... view more... (2004-01-30)
Gaiker co-ordinates a world-wide project for the reuse of purified wastewater
Gaiker is co-ordinating a world project for the reuse of purified wastewater and the aim of which is to study the possibility of using this as an alternative water resource. Just in the European Union, the implementation of strategies for the reuse of purified wastewater would enable the availability of water to be increased by 6%, which would... view more...

Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment. view more (2006-12-12)
Brown Chemists Explain the Origin of Soil-Scented Geosmin
Brown University chemists have found the origins of an odor - the sweet smell of fresh dirt. In Nature Chemical Biology, the Brown team shows that the protein that makes geosmin - source of the good earth scent - has two similar but distinct halves, each playing a critical role in making this organic compound. view more (2007-09-17)
