Engineers at the University of Bath have developed 3D-printed ceramic-infused lattices that can remove over 75% of harmful chemicals from water, potentially solving contamination issues.
The 3D-printed structures, made from a ceramic ink containing indium oxide, allow harmful chemicals in water to bond and be removed effectively, showcasing a novel method for water treatment.
As the monoliths undergo a high-temperature cleaning process after each use, their ability to remove perfluorooctanoic acids improves, suggesting a potential for greater effectiveness over time.
Dr. Liana Zoumpouli emphasized the simplicity and scalability of the 3D printing process for creating these monoliths, making it feasible for widespread application in water treatment.
