• Highly Efficient & Eco-Friendly Sorbent for Wastewater Treatment Developed at ITMO University

  Researchers from ITMO University developed an affordable hybrid sorbent that efficiently removes ions of cobalt and lead from water, making it safe for both people and the environment. Unlike its analogs, the developed sorbent copes with pollution in high-acidity and -temperature water and can be regenerated and used again for up to three times after first use. The findings of the study were reported in Chemical Engineering Journal.
