The key output from this project is an innovative drinking water treatment system that can be used for small-scale drinking water treatment. This modular system incorporates a novel graphene–copper composite immobilisation technique, which was tested and validated, and the integrated system was shown to remove key pathogens associated with drinking water, e.g. E. coli and cryptosporidum, as well as PPCPs.
