The technology is expected to purify the water with the application of ionic nano copper solution. Unlike standard chemicals that simply float in water, ionic liquids are essentially "liquid salts" that exist in a fluid state at low temperatures. •Ionic Liquid (The Carrier): Unlike water or oil, an ionic liquid is essentially "molten salt" that remains liquid at room temperature. •Nano-Scale (The Size): By shrinking the copper particles to a "nano" size (billionths of a meter), the surface area increases exponentially. EPA tryouts ionic nano copper technology on polluted Birim River2.
