Recipe for pure water:
Chemists led by Ayusman Sen at the Pennsylvania State Un. have come up with a
simple recipe: dissolve a small amount of O2 and CO in the water containing
any organic chemical (e.g. PCBs and dioxin), add a pinch op a cheap metal
catalyst (Palladium) and cook at 85(I0(BC for several hours... "At the end of the
process, you only need to filter off the metal, says Sen. "There's nothing
organic left."
