Tree based Xylem Filters to Purify Drinking Water - know science

MIT Based engineers developed filters from tree branches that purify contaminated water into drinking water.  Krithika Ramchander (MIT graduate) developed a filter made up of wood. She started working on this project in 2014 when she joined MIT. Prof. Rohit Karnik (mechanical engineer) suggested this idea.  The filter is made up of tree branches which perform very effectively as it is sensitive to dust and bacteria. Initially, they used local wood but they found a filter from a pine tree works very well.  They used a gravity-based system to solve the problem of flow rate through the filter. The filter process 10 to 15 liters of tap water per day. The cost of the filter is about 15 to 20 INR (<0.3 $). They have fabricated new xylem filters which efficiently filter out pathogens such as E. coli and rotavirus, and bacteria from the contaminated tap, and groundwater. Because the raw materials are widely available and the fabrication processes are simple, one could ima...
