PROF. THE INVENTION THAT GAVE LIFE TO WATER RESOURCES
In the recent years, scientific studies conducted in Turkey on environmental pollution have been ongoing continuously.
One of the names who has been working for more than 30 years Prof. Dr. has revealed the effectiveness of carbon nano-tubes for the decomposition of heavy metal pollution in waters in the laboratory environment. Dr. was awarded the prize in the Engineering, Natural and Health Sciences category within the scope of the Science Dissemination Awards. Prof., who received his award from former Prime Minister at a ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently. Doctor in Turkey spoke about his scientific studies aimed at reducing the pollution burden on water resources in the coming years. We asked about the details of the scientific research that will help prevent heavy metal pollution in water resources in the future,
The Turkish Professor stated:
“The basis of the work for which we received the award is based on the decomposition and enrichment of heavy metal piles, which are a big problem, especially in environmental pollution. In our laboratory studies, we used carbon nano-tubes that have the property of binding heavy metals to themselves. We have achieved the decomposition of heavy metal in water for the first time with the products we call nano technological materials. After placing nano-meter-sized carbon tubes inside a special material called a column, we passed dirty water with heavy metal pollution through this column. The system carried out purification, retaining heavy metal particles.”
Prof. made the invention that gives life to water resources, against industrial and factory pollution.

IT ATTRACTS LIKE A MAGNET
Adding that the results obtained from the scientific study at the laboratory stage give hope for the future, Prof. Doctor continued: “In the coming years, the carbon nano-tubes on which we have achieved successful results will become commercially available for use in the prevention of water pollution or in treatment plants. Placing the nano-technology we have developed in the appropriate sources and preventing heavy metal pollution is among our biggest goals. Decontamination of heavy metals is one of our biggest goals. With appropriate investment opportunities and the progress of our studies in the coming years, we will travel significant distances towards heavy metal pollution. Our prototype work continues. If we find a source, we can set up a trial station in certain parts of a polluted stream or river and have a chance to observe the results on the site. Thanks to the carbon nano tube method, an important step can be taken in the prevention of environmental pollution by providing heavy metal separation in contaminated waters and treatment plants. A gram of carbon nano-technology material contains millions of micro-scale parts. Each micro-part ensures the adhesion of heavy metal particles to it.”
