A team of Canterbury University researchers, led by Professor Alex Yep, have succeeded in designing and developing a new device for water purification, which is especially suitable for use in hydroponic agriculture. Using photoelectrochemical technology, this device offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for providing clean and pollution-free water in soilless cultivation systems.
According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, hydroponic agriculture has become one of the most popular methods of growing agricultural products due to its many advantages such as independence from weather conditions, reducing water consumption and increasing productivity. However, the need for high-quality water free from pollutants is one of the main challenges in this type of agriculture.
The device designed by this research team is capable of removing a wide range of contaminants in water, including pesticides and harmful chemicals. Also, this device is designed in such a way that it can use solar energy to provide the energy it needs and, as a result, minimize its operating costs. Using photoelectrochemical technology to purify water in an efficient and sustainable way. Also, in this method, the clean and free energy of the sun is used to supply the device with energy.
Considering the many advantages of this device, it is expected that in the near future we will see the expansion of its use in the agricultural sector, especially in areas with limited fresh water resources. This new technology can play an important role in providing food security and protecting the environment.
