Korea Institute of Science and Technology KIST
Korea Institute of Science and Technology KIST is a research center that is part of the pulse of the water sector. Here we bring together everything it publishes on Smart Water Magazine: its news, its blogs and the events it takes part in.
Safely removing nanoplastics from water using ‘Prussian blue’, a pigment used to dye jeans
Microplastics can be removed by 99% with flocculants alone, without any additional equipment, by irradiating them with sunlight.
Preparing for water scarcity using hybrid desalination technologies
The goal is to maximize system efficiency through customized membrane distillation technologies for regional climate characteristics.
Solar-driven membrane distillation technology that can double drinking water production
Development of highly efficient membrane distillation process with excellent solar absorption; successful case of research that combines material technologies with water treatment technologies.
KIST ensures stability of desalination process with magnesium
Process is developed to inhibit the fouling of desalination membranes with the addition of magnesium. Desalination stability is expected to improve process efficiency and lengthen the lifespan of membranes.
Eco-friendly composite catalyst and ultrasound removes pollutants from water
The research team of Dr. Jae-woo Choi and Dr. Kyung-won Jung of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology's (KIST, president: Byung-gwon Lee) Water Cycle Research Center announced that it has developed a wastewater treatment process that uses a common agricultural byproduct to effectively remove pollutants and environmental hormones, which are known to be endocrine […]
