Tackling Water Accessibility in a Changing Climate," BatStateU Team WONDERPETS (Water remediatiON using metal-organic framework DERived from PET bottleS) devised a water pollutant adsorbent based on a metal-organic framework, chemically recycling terephthalic acid extracted from PET bottles.
The resulting material is extremely porous, cost-efficient, and reusable, making it a sustainable means of removing pollutants from water. Team WONDERPETS is composed of BatStatel Chemical Engineering students Ghia Luwalhati, Nicole Elizabeth Tan, and Reaner Jacqueline Bool and their mentor, Dr. Reymark Maalihan of the Material Testing and Calibration Center (MTCC) of the university's Science, Technology, Engineering and Environment Research (STEER) Hub.
