The MadiDrop Water Purification Tablet empowers the user to control microbial contamination in their drinking water. At household point of use, this product eliminates contamination that may originate from the source, transportation, or storage. The MadiDrop can eliminate a wide range of waterborne pathogens and is effective against total coliform and E. coli bacteria. The MadiDrop provides a reliable barrier against secondary contamination and is a solution for protecting stored water.

PureMadi makes ceramic water filters out of a factory in the Limpopo province, South Africa. The filters are made of local clay, sawdust and water, which are mixed and pressed into a mold. The result is a flowerpot-shaped filter, which is then fired in a kiln. The firing burns off the sawdust, leaving a ceramic with very fine pores. The filter is then painted with a thin solution of silver or copper nanoparticles that serve as an effective disinfectant for waterborne pathogens. 

ECOSOFTT's Water SMART Blue Communities and Users platform enables total water sustainability through end-to-end management of the water cycle. The Blue Building Standard is based on 4 overarching principals: Water Source - increase and diversify water sources; Water Use - integrate various water sources for different water use; Water Recycling - collect and recycle wastewater using appropriate technologies, and; Water Discharge - safely discharge excess water for other community needs or into the environment.

Background: Aerogels are the world’s lightest solid materials made by removing liquid from gels. Such materials may contain up to 99 percent air and have special properties like high porosity and absorption. One promising application for aerogels is environmental cleanup. They could be used to purify water contaminated with crude oil fuel organic solvents and metals like lead and mercury. Technology Description: UW–Madison researchers have developed organic aerogels with excellent absorbent properties.

Background: Nanoparticles synthesized in organic solvents have a wide variety of potential applications requiring aqueous solutions. There are no current phase-transfer methods currently capable of achieving highly uniform distribution of these nanoparticles in water. Technology Description: The present invention is a method of transferring hydrophobic nanoparticles into water. A small amount of excess oleic acid below critical micelle concentration is added to the organic solution containing the nanoparticles.

Technology Description: Professor Cohen and colleagues have developed a method and system to continuously sustainably and inexpensively desalinate high salinity water of high mineral scaling propensity. The system is able to process waters as contaminated as industrial agricultural and mining wastewaters with recovery levels reach in excess of 90-95%.

Background: University of Nevada Reno researchers Dr. Masahiro Muraoka Dr. Stephen L. Gillett (Mackay School of Mines) and Dr. Thomas W. Bell (Department of Chemistry) have developed a redox-switchable material technology comprised of a redox-active material connected by adsorption and/or chemical bonding to a semiconductor.
