Turning water pollution into power: Electrified membrane and molecule combo transforms nitrate into ammonia
Electrochemically converting the nitrate found in contaminated water into ammonia offers a potentially environmentally friendly solution for both water treatment and developing fossil-free fertilizer and carbon-free fuels. Finding an efficient, inexpensive way to do so, though, hasn't been easy. Yale researchers, though, may have found the solution. The results are published in Nature Chemical Engineering.
