University of Navarra researcher, Xabier Sevillano, recently defended his PhD thesis on a novel procedure for the elimination of organic waste from water. view more (2005-11-07)
The bitter side of sweeteners
Sewage treatment plants fail to remove artificial sweeteners completely from waste water. view more (2009-06-18)
Soil Passage Drinking Water Purification
Soil passage of surface water for drinking water production is effective enough in the removal of viruses. This is one of the conclusions of the research project of Jack Schijven. He hopes to earn his PhD on Monday 2 April at TU Delft. An example of soil passage is dune filtration. “The new law on water facilities states that the chance of a... view more... (2001-03-30)
Simulations help explain fast water transport in nanotubes
By discovering the physical mechanism behind the rapid transport of water in carbon nanotubes, scientists at the University of Illinois have moved a step closer to ultra-efficient, next-generation nanofluidic devices for drug delivery, water purification and nano-manufacturing. view more (2008-09-17)
ADE-ADE-BIOTEC present their first on-site plant for the treatment of pig purines
The novelty of the system lies in the possibility of having an on-site installation at the farm itself, thus avoiding the transport of the purines to other, off-site plants for their treatment. view more (2004-12-09)
Archaeological remains point to exact location of Second Temple, says Hebrew University professor
While scholars have put forth various assessments for the location of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor says that archaeological remains that have so far been ignored by scholars point to the exact location, which is in a spot that differs from prevailing opinion. view more (2007-02-13)
NIST physicists boost 'entanglement' of atom pairs
Physicists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have taken a significant step toward transforming entanglement-an atomic-scale phenomenon described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance"-into a practical tool. view more (2006-10-19)
Cost-saving waste water filtration
Nobody likes to find coffee grounds in their morning "brew", which is why coffee percolators are so popular. But the last drops emerge slowly from the meanwhile compacted coffee in the filter, causing the waiting sleepyhead to lose patience! The operators of sewage plants experience a similar situation to separate solids out of their brown "brew".... view more... (2001-05-15)
Cystic fibrosis patients may breathe easier, thanks to bioengineered antimicrobials
By better understanding how antimicrobials bind and thereby get inactivated in the mucus of air passages, researchers at the University of Illinois may have found a way to help cystic fibrosis patients fight off deadly infections. view more (2007-09-25)
Biorefining of corn brings gelatin production into the 21st century
Scientists are reporting an advance toward turning corn plants into natural factories for producing gelatin to replace animal-sourced gelatin widely used by the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing capsules and tablets. view more (2007-08-23)
Purer water made possible by Sandia advance
By substituting a single atom in a molecule widely used to purify water, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have created a far more effective decontaminant with a shelf life superior to products currently on the market. view more (2009-07-22)
Desalination roadmap seeks technological solutions to increase the nation's water supply
After one last meeting in San Antonio in April, Sandia National Laboratories researchers Pat Brady and Tom Hinkebein are putting the final touches on the updated Desalination and Water Purification Roadmap — "Roadmap 2" — that should result in more fresh water in parts of the world where potable water is scarce. view more (2006-06-07)
Study of the corrosive effects of water
As is known, corrosion is defined as the destruction of a material under chemical or electrochemical action by its surrounding environment. The reactions and transformations involved in this corrosion are due to the thermodynamic instability in the materials of which the surrounding environment is made up, giving rise to products with properties... view more...

Drainage system still not fully developed
Drainage systems can be far better designed. This is one of the conclusions that Professor Fran'§ois Clemens comes to in his thesis, for which he received his PhD on Tuesday 13 March. “The models that are used for the development of drainage systems are not realistic,” says Clemens, “That means to many or to few measures are... view more...

Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation. view more (2007-10-12)
2002 Stockholm Water Prize Winner Announcement
The recipient of the 2002 Stockholm Water Prize, the leading international award for outstanding achievements on behalf of the world's water, will be announced in Stockholm on March 22 in a press conference at 11.00, Central European Time. The $150,000 Stockholm Water Prize is being presented by the Stockholm Water Foundation for the 12th time.... view more... (2002-02-04)
Seawater intrusion is the first cause of contamination of coastal aquifers
Seawater intrusion is often the consequence of freshwater aquifers overexploitation. This is a very common and serious phenomenon all over the Mediterranean basin, as well as in other areas with similar weather conditions and population. view more (2007-07-30)
Safe water: simpler method for analyzing radium in water samples cuts testing time
A simpler technique for testing public drinking water samples for the presence of the radioactive element radium can dramatically reduce the amount of time required to conduct the sampling required by federal regulations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved use of the new testing method. view more (2007-08-29)
Rice develops first method to sort nanotubes by size
Rice University scientists have developed the first method for sorting semiconducting carbon nanotubes based on their size, a long-awaited development that could form the basis of a nanotube purification system capable of producing the necessary feedstocks for nano-circuits, therapeutic agents, next-generation power cables and more. view more (2006-06-26)
Using plants and microbes to purify polluted industrial wastewater
Wetlands are nature's water filters. They collect water around river mouths and marshes, and whole communities of plants and micro-organisms feed off detritus in these murky depths. Conventional chemical treatments of industrial waters consume cash, energy and time. Wetlands, by contrast, grow and clean themselves while they act as... view more... (2003-10-07)
