About

Innovative seawater desalination solution

Addressing the pressing challenge of providing drinkable water from seawater using novel zeolite adsorbents. These engineered microporous minerals selectively filter out sodium and chloride ions with remarkable efficiency, requiring significantly less energy than traditional methods. By reducing operational costs and minimising environmental impact, the technology is particularly suitable for regions with limited infrastructure. Beyond enhancing community health and food security, it alleviates the burden of water collection on women and girls, promoting gender equality and supporting sustainable development goals

    Christopher Athanasius Amuzu is a PhD student specializing in the synthesis and application of industrial chemical materials. He completed his MPhil project, where he leveraged the release of solar heat stored in synthetic zeolite to produce refrigeration at a laboratory scale. This project was funded by the Third World Academy of Science (TWAS), awarded through his supervisor, Prof. Bright Kwakye-Awuah. His work focuses on innovative solutions in sustainable energy and chemical material applications.more
