Abstract
An estimated 1.8 billion people rely on contaminated water, driving interest in point-of-use water treatment disinfection. The KORES lab has developed solar nanofiltration and solar UV systems to address water treatment needs in remote, off-grid communities with minimal energy and chemical inputs.
Partnerships with the Navajo Nation have guided system design, revealing the importance of integrating water treatment with small-scale solar power and understanding how intermittent use affects membrane and UV performance. Field insights have also motivated studies on plastic-derived organic leaching and the treatment of emerging contaminants.
Series This talk is part of the Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology series.
