Rice researchers find dialysis ‘astonishingly effective’ for treating wastewater
Borrowing from the medical field, the technique can separate substances while achieving minimal dilution
Researchers at Rice University, in collaboration with Guangdong University of Technology, have uncovered an innovative approach to treating high-salinity organic wastewaters — streams containing both elevated salt and organic concentrations — by employing dialysis, a technology borrowed from the medical field.
