BIO-FILTER
The Biofilter is a water filtration unit made by a mixture of clay and rice husk, this mixture is also impregnated with a layer of colloidal silver. This Biofilter has a size if 31cm (diameter) by 22cm of height. The filtration unit is placed inside of the collector unit that is a plastic container (can be also made of ceramic), at the bottom of the container placed at the side of the wall a plastic faucet is installed - it works to open and close the water exit. Fabricated by "Asociación Cooperativa Juventud Rural Empresa de purificadores de agua artesanales" I sent the filter to Taiwan last year (september 2015), with the aim of getting it analyzed at my former lab, helped by my professor at NPUST Dr. Huang we did have some good results. Findings: The biochar filter can remove pesticides and heavy metals from water in a 99%!!!!!!! Hallazgos: El filtro remueve del agua pesticidas y metales pesados en un 99%!!!!!!! How is it made?...
