INST-Mohali develops sustainable nanofibre filter to treat dye-contaminated wastewater
Researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a sustainable catalytic filter that combines zinc oxide nanoparticles with biodegradable nanofibres to treat dye-contaminated wastewater. The technology uses light and mechanical vibrations to enhance pollutant degradation, while machine learning helps predict its dye-decolourisation performance. The research was published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. INST, an autonomous institute under ...
