    Oil-adsorbing sponge

    Image
      Oil-adsorbing sponge The words “oil spill” call to mind images of a large slick, perhaps floating on water. But many spills aren’t like that — the oil instead takes the form of microscopic droplets suspended in wastewater. Cleanup techniques such as booms or skimmers don’t work on these types of spills. A collaboration between professors   CHUL PARK  and  AMY BILTON   has produced a possible solution. Led by former graduate student Pavani Cherukupally, the team developed  a sponge that can remove tiny oil droplets from wastewater  with more than 90% efficiency, in just 10 minutes. Partnering for next-generation water treatments In developed countries, people expect clean, safe drinking water whenever they turn on their taps, but civil engineering professors  BOB ANDREWS ,   SUSAN ANDREWS   and  RON HOFMANN   know that this cannot be taken for granted. As members of UofT Engineering’s  Drinking Water Research Group (DWRG)...

    Asterousia Hybrid University confronts sustainability challenges in water management

      Asterousia Hybrid University confronts sustainability challenges in water management Participants explored integrated approaches to water resource management in South-East Europe during Phase B of the 2024–2025 Asterousia Hybrid University. 23 April 2025 From the rugged coastlines of the Mediterranean to the mountain ranges of South-East Europe, the region’s natural beauty masks an escalating crisis. Environmental degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss are placing severe pressure on already fragile terrestrial ecosystems. Sustainable development efforts are struggling to keep pace. To overcome these complex and interconnected challenges, effective governance and more efficient management at all levels are crucial.  In response, the 2024-2025 edition of the  co-organised by MIO-ECSDE and UNESCO, focused on ‘Integrated Management in Biosphere Reserves and other Designated Sites of South-East Europe and the Mediterranean’. During Phase B, spanning 3 weeks in Jan...

    Pure Water: The Unsung Hero Of The Lab

    Image
    Pure water plays a pivotal role in almost every life science experiment, diagnostic test or chemical reaction. It’s so important, there’s even a  high impact journal  dedicated to reporting on new water-based research and purification methods. Sadly, lab water still rarely gets the attention it deserves.   The Ultimate Dissolution Solution Without pure water, very few experiments, tests or reactions would be possible. Thanks to its favorable chemical and physical properties, water is often considered the ‘universal solvent’ as it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Perhaps even more importantly, many biochemical reactions will only take place within aqueous solutions. Ultra-Sensitive Analytics Some of the most interesting science being carried out at the moment pushes the boundaries of analytical sensitivity. Techniques such as inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and ICP atomic emission spect...
