Biochar Adsorbent for Control of Synthetic Organic Contaminants in Affordable Decen

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals aim to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030. Billions of people currently lack clean water, while toxic chemicals emanating from industry, agriculture, and the breakdown of consumer wastes constitute a major and increasing threat to water safety and public health around the globe.
Around 70,000 unique synthetic chemicals are in widespread production and use. The biosphere has a finite capacity for assimilation of chemical pollution and many compounds accumulate, threatening ecosystems and human health. The rates of chemical production and diversification, particularly within the developing world, have outpaced other major drivers of global environmental change such as CO2 emissions, nutrient pollution, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. Pollution is often more severe in the developing world where chemical substances are produced, used, and disposed of in an unregulated manner. The public health consequences of chemical exposure are now comparable to or greater than those of widespread infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. However, despite large human and economic costs, chemical pollution of the environment and water sources has been overlooked in the WASH development agenda. Chemical pollution control currently receives less than 0.5% of global development spending.

    Have anyone considered the the potential of using mineral zeolites to filter water and also the smell (odor) at the same time?

    Can we use industrial mined charcoal instead of wood charcoal? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    No, mined coal has been saturated completely with heavy metals over the millions of years it has been underground. It has to be new charcoal, and the charcoal must be replaced as often as once every year, depending on use and water contamination.

    Will the water filtration barrel setup filter out chlorine and fluoride? Is there somewhere to get a list of the stuff that it will filter out or that it will not filter out?

    I think there is no harm in that because no bacteria or virus can survive in that temperature. I am not sure about the chemicals but the chemicals will also be converted in that higher temperature but I think there should be a chimney for the fumes to go out.

    Why is the piping for water flow start on the bottom and goes up to top before entering the barrel and then the piping goes back to the bottom of the barrel before water is released into the barrel? Couldnt you just have the piping start at the top of the barrel from the outside instead of starting at the bottom and climbing along the outside of the barrel? Also if the water is released into the bottom of the barrel then couldnt just you just run piping from the outside bottom straight to the bottom? Why all that piping climbing up and then back down into the barrel when you couldve just cut a hole at the bottom and allowed the water to enter at the bottom???

    I'm in the process of making a smaller version of this set up and I think I might have an answer for you. If you are refering to the first barrel then the water needs to start filling from the bottom to make sure that's where most the sediment settles and can then be flushed out easily using the exit tap shown at the bottom. As you say this could be done by having the inlet pipe enter from the bottom but then you need to think about how to have the float valve secured there, there's the risk that over time the rocks could shift and interfer with the float valve. By having it at the top it means you can easily access the float valve for maintence etc. If you are asking about why the next two barrels have the exit at the bottom connected to the entrance up at the top, this is to ensure the water fully passes through the filters before it moves to the next barrel. Hope that makes sense, not sure I've explained it well though.
