Environmental engineers develop reusable, 99% effective LDH foil for affordable, sustainable water purification in Africa.

Environmental engineers have created a specially coated aluminum foil, known as layered double hydroxide (LDH), that effectively cleans water by removing over 99% of harmful microbes, including E. coli. This affordable and sustainable solution is particularly beneficial for regions like Africa, where many lack safe drinking water. The LDH foil can be reused and is intended to complement traditional water treatment methods, enhancing overall water safety.
