Description

Kacper Szymański and co-authors test a solar water cleaner in 2026. The target is ketoprofen, a pain drug that can linger in seawater. Their system joins a light driven reactor with a membrane step that yields pure water. Sun like light powers a catalyst that breaks the drug down.

The team ran the system for long stretches at warm feed heat. Seawater spiked with the drug was first thickened, then treated under light for days. About half of the drug was removed by the light step. The membrane gave salt free water of high purity. The hybrid may suit coasts that need clean water from the sea.
