Multifunctional Water Sensors for pH, ORP, and Conductivity Using Only Microfabricated Platinum Electrodes

Sensors, 2017
Monitoring of the pH, oxidation-reduction-potential (ORP), and conductivity of aqueous samples is typically performed using multiple sensors. To minimize the size and cost of these sensors for practical applications, we have investigated the use of a ...

Do Water Safety Lessons Improve Water Safety Knowledge?

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education, 2022
A person, usually a child or young adult, dies by drowning every 90 seconds around the planet. Most drowning prevention initiatives do not assess the efficacy of the intervention. In this study, thirteen- to fourteen-year-olds had their level of water safety knowledge (covering cold shock, rips and tides) assessed before, just after, and 3-6 months ...

Enhanced Arsenic Removal from Aqueous Solution by Fe/Mn-C Layered Double Hydroxide Composite

Adsorption Science & Technology, 2021
A novel material named Fe/Mn-C layered double hydroxide composite (Fe/Mn-C-LDH) was synthesized to remove arsenic from an aqueous solution. The removal performance of the composite toward arsenic ions was studied through the batch experiments.
