The researchers behind the work say that it is made, using common polymers, at a fraction of the cost of the more expensive membranes employed by developed nations. A water treatment system that incorporates the membrane has also been designed and piloted. Taking advantage of the membrane's increased robustness and lower cost will enable this system to handle challenging environments in many regional countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":52434,"journal":{"name":"Membrane Technology","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140270595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
