One of the most basic human needs is clean drinking water, which for millions of people in developing countries is simply not available. Without access to clean water, the population is vulnerable to water-borne diseases, something as simple as dysentery killing thousands every year. Unfortunately, getting clean water to these people is often expensive and […]

A Novel Water Treatment Method Using Simple Electrochemistry

Janina Lazo-Cruz — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 06:25:32 +0000

Various water treatment systems have sprung up to increase the quality of drinking water. For remote and underdeveloped areas, unfortunately, these technologies are not within reach. This situation led two chemists to a simple, yet brilliant idea to transform bore water into a potable one. Through electrochemistry, Dr. Hilary Nath and Associate Professor Alan Langdon […]

Water, a key element of life, has always been one of the most exploited natural resources. Even if we have a lot of water (71 percent of the earthÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s surface), in some places on earth drinking water still remains an unsolved issue. Especially with the increasing population and industrial development, our clean water resources dropped drastically in recent years.

A company called Renew Blue, Inc. will use wave power to run a desalination plant in Freeport, Texas. The resulted water will be finally put into corn-based biodegradable plastic bottles. The SEADOG power system is made from a buoy which puts in motion a piston mechanism that rotates a water wheel to generate electricity.
