Clarkson University Science Cafés Continue on October 16 with "Things in water: how can electrochemical processes separate good and bad?"

Water contains numerous substances, some of which need to be removed from drinking water for human health or wastewater for the environment. While removing large objects is straightforward, separating small things, such as dissolved ions, present significant challenges. Are good things always good and bad things always bad? It depends and evolves as we learn more about them.

Join Assistant Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Clarkson University's Institute for a Sustainable Environment Taeyoung Kim in a discussion of how electrochemical processes can be used to either remove unwanted things from water or turn wasted resources into value-added products.

Science Cafés are held in Potsdam in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room at 2 Park Street at 7:15 p.m.
