Electro-Chemical Arsenic Remediation (ECAR) India

Description

Berkeley researchers have developed a technology, ElectroChemical Arsenic Remediation (ECAR), that robustly, reliably, and affordably produces arsenic-safe water within a sustainable and scalable business model. ECAR uses an innovative method: a small electric charge creates rust particles from ordinary steel plates which bind to arsenic, allowing for effective filtration. The technology is designed to be robust and low-maintenance enough to work in deep rural areas with almost no tech backup or support. Raw data from field trials of the ECAR technology are included in this data asset. This data was collected from 2012 to 2013, and in 2016 and is accessible via the "Homepage" link, below.
