‘Super Sand’ Cleans Dirty Drinking Water

Posted by Pelliciari on June 29, 2011

Sand has been used as a purifier for thousands of years. An innovative way of cleaning water, by adding graphite waste, provides a cost affective way to bring purified water to those who may not normally have access to a clean water source. Via Treehugger:

The solution is cheap since the sources of graphite could include the waste produced by graphite mining companies that still contains a significant amount of graphite. And the researchers believe that it is possible to modify the graphite oxide to pick out particular pollutants and therefore tailor the super sand to specific areas that might be having trouble with certain water-borne diseases or pollutants.

    problems tempting customers? If so , you shouldn’t be having this type of
    difficulty. Folk are constantly damaging their carpets due to wear, tear, and
    absence of correct upkeep. This can ruin the look of their interior and with
    the right selling plan you can make them aware how your cleaning service can
    help them out.

    The best home water purifier is one that balances the mineral content and pH level in the water. Minerals make water taste fresher and in trace amounts are good for our health. Without the proper pH, drinking water may be too acidic or too alkaline. Neither is good for our skin or our digestive systems.

    Make sure they are insured and
    certified. Ask for the results of background checks and drug tests of the
    office cleaners that are employed at the company.  If you have to sign a
    contract, you should review it carefully.
