RUDN University
RUDN University is a university 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.
Chemists propose new reagents for the removal of lead from wastewater
RUDN University chemists together with colleagues from other countries have synthesized new compounds that effectively bind lead ions and can be used to remove it from wastewater and even from living organisms—that is, to play the role of an antidote for lead poisoning. The article is published in the journal Crystals. Complex compounds of lead are widely used […]
Testing the feasibility of the UN Sustainable Development Goals on water and sanitation
A RUDN geographer used an economic model to calculate the costs associated with the accomplishment of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on water supply and sanitation. The model has demonstrated that by 2050, these goals can be achieved even with relatively moderate costs as compared to the entire global GDP, especially when compared to […]
Chemists develop a new eco-friendly material for waste water purification
RUDN chemists have developed a hybrid nanocatalyst for quick removal of stable organic dyes from wastewater. This catalyst does not require additional aggressive solvents. The results of the study were published in Inorganic Chemistry. Industrial dying of plastics, fabrics and other materials requires toxic organic dyes that are dangerous for humans and the environment in the long run. […]
