Globally, exponential population growth, rampant consumerism, and economic development are the major drivers of waste generation. The World Bank estimates that waste generation is going to increase from about 2.3 billion tons per year by 2023 to 3.4 billion tons per year by 2050. Out of the 2.3 billion tons of waste produced in 2023, as much as 33 ...

Increasing water scarcity and the non-potable nature of many available water resources have resulted in the quest for simpler and effective water purification solutions. Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been identified as a technology with much promise in efficient onsite treatment of water/wastewater that enables tunable removal of total dissolve...
