Filtering Water with Nanotechnology

Last year, 2014, Nano Sun of Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University developed a multi-functional water filtration membrane. This latest water filter technology uses titanium dioxide nanotechnology instead of the usual polymer-based water filtration membranes.

It sounds scientific to ordinary citizens like us but simply put, it kills bacteria and breaks down organic compounds using the ultraviolet rays or more commonly known to us as, the sun. In addition, it claims to be environmental friendly as it reduces biofouling or the accumulation of microorganisms that usually grow on wet surfaces.
