A tilted ten-stage solar-powered prototype desalination device is located in a “boat-like” reservoir. It efficiently turns seawater into drinkable water, potentially at costs lower than…
The researchers created new more efficient membranes for water desalination. Novel membranes can remove salt from water. A team led by King Abdullah University of…
A new study, published in Science on May 12th, 2022, found a new method to purify water that is 2400 times faster than even experimental…
The user-friendly unit, which weighs less than 10 kilograms and does not require the use of filters, can be powered by a small, portable solar…
MIT researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In this schematic, a confined water layer…
A flexible polymer membrane incorporating nanoparticles of PAF selectively absorbs nearly 100% of metals such mercury, copper or iron during desalination, more efficiently producing clean,…
