The College of Engineering, Design, Art, and Technology (CEDAT) at Makerere University recently presented findings from two research studies focused on advancing materials for point-of-use water treatment systems. These investigations, led by a team of researchers including P. W. Olupot, H. M. Kalibbala, E. Menya, G.M. Wangi, J. Jjagwe, J. Wakatuntu, M. Turyasingura, R. Walozi, C. Kanyesigye, and R. N. Kulabako, highlighted innovative approaches using locally available, low-cost materials.
On Wednesday, November 29, 2023, the research dissemination event took place, marking the conclusion of two successful MakRIF-supported projects. The first project focused on the “Development of rice husk-based granular activated carbon for point-of-use water treatment systems,” while the second project centered around the “Development of zeolite-based nanocomposite filters for drinking water treatment.”
