“Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ called PFAS have long been used in industries around the world, and now they pollute much of our drinking water. Fortunately, researchers are hard at work on ways to remove them — and one team has just found a cheap, scalable answer, Interesting Engineering reported.
The key is small monolith structures 3D printed from ceramic indium oxide ink. Each one is about one and a half inches in size and made up of a lattice structure that creates as much porous surface area as possible.
When the monoliths are left to soak in water, they attract and trap PFAS. They can remove as much as 75% of these chemicals in just three hours, Interesting Engineering revealed.”…
