Water pollution is one of humanity's most important environmental problems. The most pressing issues arise from pharmaceuticals (e.g. diclofenac) due to their persistence in the aquatic environment. This project proposes a solution for the remediation of diclofenac. PVDF photocatalytic membranes will be produced to remove diclofenac as well as validated by ecotoxicity tests. Plasmonic sensors for diclofenac monitoring will also be developed.
