Plant-based amyloids from food waste for removal of heavy metals from contaminated water by Soon, Wei Long, Peydayesh, Mohammad, Mezzenga, Raffaele, Miserez, Ali

“…Technologies currently used to treat polluted wastewaters of heavy metals employ chemical, ion-exchange, and membrane purification methods. However, these techniques are energy-intensive due to high pressure and power requirements for membrane-based technologies, or highly selective, as in ion-exchange resins, making drinking water less affordable in developing countries. …”
