Polluted Water Purification Using Diatoms

Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, have developed a new method for polluted water purification using algae. Their recent study demonstrates that the fossil remains of diatoms (a type of algae) can efficiently remove contaminants from water after being chemically modified. Europe’s water bodies are in poor condition: more than half […]
