‘Sparkling’ clean water from nanodiamond-embedded membrane
filters

Although most of the planet is covered by water, only
a fraction of it is clean enough for humans to use. Therefore, it
is important to recycle this resource whenever possible. Current
purification techniques cannot adequately handle the very hot
wastewater generated by some industries. But now, researchers
reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have embedded
amine-enhanced nanodiamond particles into membranes to address this
challenge.
