Studies have shown that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are likely to be detectable in all major water supplies in the United States. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals, which do not break down. Because of this, PFAS are known to accumulate in the environment and the human body…Presenter

Professor, University of Arkansas at Little RockPurification of lead polluted water using improved reduced graphene oxide-based filtration membranes
DateMarch 23, 2022This research worked on the removal of lead ions from drinking water using improved reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based filtration membranes. We tested those membranes through the process of forward osmosis to determine how effectively they can filter out most impurities such as lead ions…Presenter
