Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MICROCLEANERS (Active microcleaners for water remediation)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2016-09-01 al 2018-02-28
We developed synthesis methods which can eventually be upgraded for mass production of microcleaners and enable multimaterial compositions for enhanced catalysis and photocatalysis.
We can integrate or combine different types of microcleaners in a compact device for cleaning small amounts of water off-line and in-line. This would have impact in society by reaching under-developed countries where the access to clean water is limited. Additionally, small companies would benefit from this technology using microcleaners for on-site cleaning of small amounts of water, avoiding the need to accumulate and transport polluted water to the water cleaning plant.
