New Nanomaterial Tackles Heavy Metal Contamination
In September 2024, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) engineered a nanomaterial-based solution aimed at mitigating heavy metal contamination in water, a pressing health threat to vital drinking water sources across India.
- The innovative nanomaterial, known as sulphidated carboxymethyl cellulose-stabilised nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-CMC-nZVI), demonstrates exceptional efficiency in removing hexavalent chromium, a highly toxic form of chromium from water.
- This solution is particularly relevant for addressing contaminants not only in urban water bodies like Bellandur Lake in Bengaluru but also in groundwater supplies throughout the country.
- This has significant potential for cleaning up contaminated sediments in areas like Bellandur Lake, which ....
