ABU DHABI - Researchers in the United Arab Emirates say they have created a new material - inspired by mussels - which can remove textile dyes from wastewater.
A team at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi say the novel adsorbent is highly selective and efficient, making it a potential game changer for wastewater treatment.
The new material is made from a polymer, called polydopamine, modified with an ionic liquid to create a new material able to remove anionic pollutants from water.
