Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water
From Massachusetts Institute of Technology 10/10/23 Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun. In a paper appearing today in the journal Joule, the team outlines the design for a new solar desalination […]
Salty no more: Self-cleaning membranes dramatically improve desalination efficiency
From New York University Abu Dhabi 25/09/23 A team of NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers has developed a new kind of self-cleaning, hybrid membrane that provides a solution that overcomes significant challenges that have, until now, limited desalination technologies. The most energy-efficient desalination technologies are based on membrane desalination. However, the membranes used for desalination […]
