Abstract

We have reported on a suite of simple new water technologies, in desalination, in sterilisation, in heavy metal pollution and harvesting, in cavitation, in a new class of environmentally friendly surfactants, on control of slimes and sludges from mining and floods. All are cheap, scalable. All are desperately needed. Why were these not developed before?
