Novel system uses micromotors to purify wastewater, generating energy
Envirotec Magazine
NOVEMBER 15, 2023
The outside of the micromotor in this study is coated with the chemical compound laccase. This enables the motor to convert the urea in the water into ammonia (image credit: Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ)).
