Ultrafiltration process for drinking water.
Different ceramic "nano" processes are developed in laboratory to eliminate or to filter pollutants as arsenic, mercury [J. Mertens et al., Water Research 88 (2016) 844-851 / T. Bora et al., Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 14 (2014) 613-626 / M.U. Sankar et al., Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences 110 (2013) 8459-8464].
Membranes constituted by networks of crossed polymers are also tested for the desalination of the sea water. This new process would for example allow to reduce of 25 % the cost of the drinking water obtained by desalination.
