Wastewater treatment using solar energy

Recently they are beginning to proliferate diverse uses of renewable energies for very interesting activities that can sometimes contribute positive things to the society in which we live.

If a few days ago we knew the news that thanks to wind energy we will be able to achieve get the water out of the air today we know that thanks to a study that It is being carried out at the University of Almería in the future, hopefully very near, we will be able to decontaminate and disinfect industrial wastewater using solar energy and with the help of activated sludge and membranes.

This project led by the professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Almería, Mr. José Luis Casas López It consists of several stages, quite difficult to understand for people who are not well studied in this subject and with whom we will not bore you here, but if someone wants to know them, they only have to access the link that you will find at the end of this article and that It will direct you to ecoticias.com where you can consult almost everything related to this project.

In what interests us to a greater extent, which is the use of renewable energies, these will appear in the third phase where a photocatalysis will take place. "Its main characteristic is that the degradation of pollutants occurs as a result of the hydroxyl radicals generated in the photocatalyzed iron oxidation / reduction cycle."

Without a doubt, projects of this type are and can be very beneficial in the future since water can be recovered for consumption through totally clean energies that do not negatively influence the environment.
