Desalination of seawater with reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is a key technology for addressing water scarcity issues around ...

Brine is generally defined as water with a salt concentration higher than 50 parts per thousand, though some brines can be several times saltier Average salinity of the world’s oceans is roughly 35 ...

Seawater desalination is a new promising marine industry and an important way to supplement the shortage of land water resources and promote the efficient use of seawater resources. Currently, the ...

The diagram illustrates how the researchers’ electrodes remove boron. Initially, most salt ions are removed through reverse osmosis. In order to solve this problem, desalination plants usually ...

Residents and campaigners opposed to plans by utility giant South West Water (SWW) to build a desalination plant in St Austell Bay are celebrating after it was turned down. In November 2023 SWW ...

Climate change is making water scarcer. A promising method to combat this problem is desalination technology because it can tap seawater. Though desalination has potential, it also brings risks ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are leading the charge toward wide-scale implementation of water desalination by developing an efficient new electrode for use in ...

Engineers have found a way to eliminate the fluid flow "dead zones" that plague the types of electrodes used for battery-based seawater desalination. The new technique uses a physics-based tapered ...
