Scientists found a surprising use for apple waste. It removed up to 100% of toxic lead from water in lab tests
- PC: AI GeneratedLead contamination in water is being studied through different approaches, including the use of waste materials that can help remove metal ions from water.
- Apple pomace, the residue left after juice production, was among the waste materials researchers examined for its ability to remove lead ions from water in laboratory experiments.
- Researchers compared untreated raw apple waste with material that had first undergone a biorefining process to remove valuable water-soluble and lipid-soluble compounds.
