Plastic membranes to make drinking water – and more‘Plastic is known to pollute our oceans and water, but in in this case it is used to clean water. I think that’s great!’ says Wiebe de Vos. Together with his colleagues Saskia Lindhoud and Ameya Krishna, the UT membrane scientist developed a sustainable and easy way to produce a membrane based on a novel plastic. It’s use is versatile, and making drinking water is just one of the many possible options.Read more
Clean water, thanks to new plasticIn their recently published paper, UT-researchers Ameya Krishna B, Dr Saskia Lindhoud and Prof Dr Wiebe de Vos (S&T faculty / MESA+) showcase a novel way to develop anion exchange membranes, based on a very new type of plastic (saloplastic). The researchers also show that their technique can be used to create membranes that are very stable in extreme conditions like a very high or low pH, making them useful for fuel cells or to desalinate water. They published their work in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science.Read more
