MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611049875 A) filed by Manav Rachna University, Faridabad, Haryana, on April 20, for 'nanocatalyst-generating wastewater treatment system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Priti Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a nanocatalyst-generating wastewater treatment system comprising a column body defining a wastewater inlet, a treated-effluent outlet, and a regeneration inlet, and a polymer-packed bed retained within the column body. The polymer-packed bed comprises a supramolecular hyperbranched polymer medium having a pillararene-centered scaffold, metal-binding arms carrying thiol and imidazole sites, and redox-active units associated with the scaffold. During passage of mining wastewater through the column body, trace metal species are retained on the polymer medium and are converted in situ into nanoparticle material. A regeneration medium introduced through the regeneration inlet disrupts reversible supramolecular associations of the polymer medium and enables release of the nanoparticle material for recovery while restoring the polymer medium for reuse."
