Iranian Scientists Make Ceramic Nanomembranes to Clean Water from Microbes
“Danesh Pajouhan Sanat Nano company has numerous knowledge-based products in the field of ceramic nanomembranes and is the first producer of nanostructured ceramic membranes in Iran,” said Ali Akbar Babalou, the managing director of Danesh Pajouhan Sanat Nano company.
He added that the ceramic nanomembranes produced by his company can produce healthy drinking water free from any microbial contamination.
Babalou underlined that his company produces disc filtration systems used instead of filter press in mining, tile and ceramics industries, stone cutting, etc., industrial wastewater treatment and recycling systems, household water treatment systems, systems for removing microbial load and drinking water turbidity, and gray water treatment and recycling systems for car washing and carpet cleaning firms, swimming pools, hotels and recreational centers.
In a relevant development in August, Iranian researchers at a nanotechnology company had also succeeded in production of a new casting refractory based on ceramic materials.
‘Pat Roshan Nikta Group’ company made the casting refractory in which nanoparticle-containing colloidal binder is used with an appropriate stability.
It is able to efficiently bind the ceramic precursors to form final bulk refractory units and coatings.
The addition of ceramic nanoparticles to the binder of the refractory has resulted in enhanced gelation properties and improved strength.
The refractory can be used in casting factories, petrochemical plants and steel mills.
