Each day, tonnes of toxic waste are produced by households, industries, and agriculture around the world, but in spite of the sheer magnitude of the problem, for decades, authorities have followed traditional biological techniques for wastewater treatment, techniques that in many instances fail to eradicate complex toxins.<\/p>\n
Over the years, new purification techniques centred around oxidation have surfaced, but due to their complexity, not even the most advanced have the capability to be put into practise. This is something that Mohammad Neaz Morshed wishes to change through his research.<\/p>\n
Morshed\u2019s novel research focuses on how one of the new advanced purification techniques can be made less complex, and the most promising solution includes textiles. More specifically, the solution entails recreating the advanced system for wastewater treatment by applying textiles with specific catalysts on their surface.<\/p>\n
