Scalable and Applicable Nanostructured Adsorbents for Arsenic Removal with High Performance

地下水和饮用水中的砷污染影响到全世界1亿多人，并造成严重的健康问题。该项目旨在利用最近的专利技术开发具有可控纳米结构和形态的新一代吸附剂，用于除砷。这种新型低成本吸附剂有望在处理高浓度和低浓度含砷水方面具有优异的性能。该工程产品将在制药厂的高通量废水处理中进行测试，并作为家庭饮用水处理设备。该项目旨在为澳大利亚工业带来经济和社会效益，并改善世界各地人民的生活质量。

Arsenic contamination in groundwater and drinking water affects over 100 million people worldwide and causes severe health problems. This project aims to use a recently patented technology to develop a new generation of adsorbents with controlled nanostructure and morphology for arsenic removal. The novel low-cost adsorbents are expected to have superior performance for the treatment of water containing arsenic at both high and low concentrations. The engineered products will be tested in high-throughput wastewater treatment in pharmaceutical factories and as a household drinking water treatment device. This project aims to bring economic and social benefits to Australian industry and improve the quality of life for people all over the world.
