Tshwane University of Technology

Water Efficiency

The cleantech solution developed by Tshwane University of Technology is a water purification system that utilizes locally sourced maize tassel, a waste material discarded by farmers. The technology combines the maize tassel with carbon nanotubes to form activated carbon composites, which effectively remove pollutants from water, providing safe drinking water in rural agricultural areas. The solution is unique as it repurposes a waste material abundantly available in South Africa, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional activated carbon used in water purification. The system targets the removal of herbicides, which can be harmful to human health. The initiative aims to address the lack of clean and pollutant-free water supply in rural and semi-urban areas, producing an estimated 3 million liters of water per month. The potential impact is significant, promoting environmental sustainability, recycling, and providing clean water to communities.
