title: Combining phosphate and bacteria removal on chemically active filter membranes allows prolonged storage of drinking water.
abstract: A chemically active filtration membrane with incorporated lanthanum oxide nanoparticles enables the removal of bacteria and phosphate at the same time and thus provides a simple device for preparation of drinking water and subsequent safe storage without using any kind of disinfectants.
