In order to tackle the worldwide problems of water pollution and shortage, this work explores the green synthesis of nanocomposite membranes for sustainable water filtering. Graphene oxide, cellulose nanocrystals, and silver nanoparticles were used as nanofillers in the fabrication of nanocomposite membranes, which were made using renewable polymer...

Agbokpa is a rural community in southern Ghana with no access to clean or running water. Villages without access to water face significant hurdles in obtaining an education and developing their communities’ infrastructure and economy. In August of 2019 Cal Poly students Eugene Long, Fletcher Podosek, and Mason Nolan traveled with professors Paul Re...
Nolan, Mason
In August of 2019 several Cal Poly Students will be traveling to a remote fishing village located off of Lake Volta in Ghana. This project is being completed by Cal Poly's MCAA chapter alongside the NECA chapter. These students will be constructing a community center, a water filtration system, and ice making and refrigeration facilities. The proje...

In August of 2019, three Cal Poly CM students will travel to the remote fishing village of Agbokpa in Ghana. Our project is to install a water filtration system that will create potable water for the villagers that currently have to walk miles to obtain clean water. We will be laying nearly 1000 ft of pipe, installing a solar powered pump, and buil...

The need for improved water filtration technologies continues to grow on a global scale. Membrane filtration devices are increasing in use because they can remove a variety of contaminants efficiently. The major issue with membrane filters is biofouling. Coating membranes with nanoparticles such as graphene oxide (GO) can increase contaminant remov...

Despite the amount of data available on investigating the process of aqueous contaminant removal by metallic iron (Fe0), there is still a significant amount of uncertainty surrounding the design of Fe0 beds for laboratory testing to determine the suitability of Fe0 materials for field applications. Available data were obtained under various operati...

Fibre Chemistry
Needle-punching produces film-fibre material without destroying the intermediate polymer film. At the minimum needle-punching density, the intermediate layer is perforated without being filled by fibres, and the holes are filled by fibres at significant needle-punching density. The film-fibre material ensures effective filtration of water to remove...

The present paper presents results of the study in removal of iron, arsenic and total coliform from drinking water using single-pass constructed soil filter (CSF). Results indicated that arsenic levels ranged from 0.5 to less than 10 μg l−1 levels; iron from 5 to less than 0.3 mg l−1 and coliform from 10−5 to less than 5 CFU/100 ml. The results rev...
