Chemical Navigation: St Petersburg University Scientists Develop A Water Remediation Method Using Nanoparticles
January 18, 2023
Chemists from St Petersburg University have developed a method for purifying water from organic compounds using tin oxide nanoparticle based photocatalysts.
Water pollution is one of the acute environmental issues of our time. Due to the high rate of industrial development and increasing volumes of wastewater, the ecology of water bodies is deteriorating. Scientists are therefore working hard to develop new ways of treating industrial discharges that would quickly and without unnecessary waste purify water from complex pollutants such as organic dyes.
