Nopalea cochenillifera Biomass as Bioadsorbent in Water Purification

Water Purification in Thailand

Water is a necessary part of life, but without proper filtration, it could cause problems such as illness or death. While citizens of developed countries may take the water that flows from their taps for granted, many parts of the world do not have access to clean water. A small village in Thailand called Nong Bua is one such community that is hindered by the quality of their water supply. Nong...

Nanotechnology for Water Purification

Gasification of biomass in supercritical water (SCWG)

Conversion of wet biomass via gasification in supercritical water is a promising technology for the production of hydrogen and methane from renewable resources. The properties of water above the critical point enable reactions for the fast degradation of biomass and generation of a product gas consisting of hydrogen, methane, higher hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide without disturbing sulphurand ...

Bioinspired Materials for Water Purification

Water scarcity issues associated with inadequate access to clean water and sanitation is a ubiquitous problem occurring globally. Addressing future challenges will require a combination of new technological development in water purification and environmental remediation technology with suitable conservation policies. In this scenario, new bioinspired materials will play a pivotal role in the de...

Biosensors in Fiedback Control of Water Purification

Abstarct It was analyzed number of biosensors intended for the determination of total toxicity of some objects of the environment. To control of total toxicity of the environment it was proposed biosensors based on the measurement of bioluminescence of bacteria (Vibrio fisheri and Ph. Phosphoreum) as well as on the estimation of the level of chemiluminescence of Daphnia magna living medium. The...
