Researchers use cellulosic waste for wastewater filtration

At the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), a research team is investigating the application of filters crafted from cellulosic waste to eliminate harmful dyes from textile wastewater.

Utilizing discarded materials like old cleaning cloths and paper cups, the researchers coat a fine nano-fabric with these waste items to develop a highly effective filtration system for contaminated water.

The innovative approach holds promise for addressing environmental concerns related to textile production and wastewater treatment.
