Iranian Scientists Produce Nano-Based Filters Rechargeable with Sunlight
based on the report, two main materials are used in the filter which absorb pollutants and the other material will be responsible for its decomposition.
In this filter, porous nanomaterials are used that can trap pollutants. Another specification of the filter is removal of the odor. For instance, the filter can be used in the refrigerator or in a shoe rack.
In this filter, pollutants are decomposed into water and carbon. It also has a foreign counterpart but given the nanomaterials used in its structure, it enjoys higher capabilities and is presented to the market at a lower price.
The filter is able to remove bad odors from the environment by identifying elements, including ammonia or hydrogen gases. At the end of the 8-month life of this filter, it can be kept under the sun for a while to be used again.
In an earlier development, Iranian researchers at Islamic Azad University’s Ahvaz branch succeeded in production of water filters with maximum absorption of pollutants and minimum price.
“Our research group operates under the title of Iranians’ Zagros Filter research group in the Southern city of Ahvaz which produces various kinds of filters for household water purification devices and industries’ water supply network,” Azita Koushafar, the head of the research group, told ANA.
She explained that eye-catching advantages of the product are its maximum absorption rate and the low price, adding that the final price is half the price of other filters.
“In addition, our product can be used in other areas, including agriculture, animal husbandry and pharmaceuticals,” Koushafar said.
