Scientists at Dagestan University have succeeded in developing porous composite membranes that break down persistent organic pollutants in water under the influence of ultrasonic waves and alternating magnetic fields.
As reported by the Russian TASS news agency, citing the press office of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, the purification efficiency reaches 96 percent.
The technology relies on composite membranes made from fluoropolymer and nano-particles of barium hexaferrite.
