The peels of citrus would be an excellent method for purifying water. This was stated by a group of Australian researchers led by professor of synthetic chemistry, Justin Chalker (Flinders University in Adelaide), in a study released in 2015. skins of citrus fruits – and in particular those of the oranges – would in fact be able to purify water by removing all toxic substances that may be present in it, thanks to the extracts obtainable from them.
extracts the skins of citrus – especially oranges – have the power to intervene on large areas so that, if the study were to continue and you should find a concrete method to exploit its potential, it could intervene to purify the sea by the presence of mercury , to give a concrete example. It would be enough to mix the skins of citrus fruits to the waste oil to ensure that the waters in which those would not inquinassero.
It would be a truly amazing, not forgetting the fact that the ‘ pollution is one of the first problems against which man has to think to fight to protect the environment, themselves and future generations. In more it would be a method to take advantage of all ecological waste in a positive way, both those of the processing of petroleum and those of the food that is consumed at the table (in this case the skins of citrus fruits).
If you think of the vast amount of limonene that is produced during the processing of citrus fruit and how this, joining sulfur, can be a good solution to the mercury that haunts the waters, you understand how the idea of Australian researchers, in itself, is really important.
