Development and evaluation of filter for canal water potability
Journal Article
The PDF describes the design, development, and evaluation of a low-cost portable water filter for canal water potability. The filter is equipped with a provision for injecting sodium hypochlorite solution to remove bacterial contaminants and has been tested for its effectiveness in removing suspended solids and improving water quality parameters.
Socioeconomic predictors of access to improved water sources, sanitation facilities, and household water treatment in Nigeria
Journal Article
The article examines the socioeconomic predictors of access to improved water sources, sanitation facilities, and household water treatment (WASH) in Nigeria. It utilizes 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS) cross-sectional data to investigate the factors influencing WASH access in the country
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) removal from soil washing water by coagulation and flocculation
Journal Article
The study investigates the effectiveness of coagulation and flocculation in removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from soil washing water. It evaluates various coagulants and flocculants, including PACl, zirconium oxychloride octahydrate, cationic and anionic polyacrylamide, Polyclay 685, and Perfluor Ad®, in treating PFAS-contaminated washing water.
Decoupling locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) intensity and copper release by applying asymmetric electric pulses for water disinfection
Journal Article
The research article discusses the use of locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) and copper ionization for water disinfection. The study introduces a coaxial-electrode copper ionization cell (CECIC) that combines copper disinfection with LEEFT, demonstrating superior disinfection efficiency with low effluent copper concentrations.
Occurrence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Private Water Supplies in Southwest Virginia
The study includes an analysis of household water systems, water quality perception, and the detection and quantification of PFAS in private well water. The research highlights the limited information available on PFAS exposure at the tap and the effectiveness of point-of-use treatment methods, such as activated carbon filters.
