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

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 ...

Researchers have developed carbon cloth electrodes that efficiently remove boron from seawater, potentially replacing costly chemicals in desalination. The electrodes remove boron from desalinated ...

Water desalination plants could replace expensive chemicals with new carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from seawater, an important step of turning seawater into safe drinking water. A study ...

Excalidraw is an innovative online whiteboarding tool that uses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to convert simple text prompts into detailed, professional-quality diagrams. Whether you ...

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 ...

The City of Cape Town’s plan to have a permanent desalination plant operational by 2026 is fraught with pitfalls and potential costs that may have to be borne by end users, a chemistry expert warns.

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 ...

Tapered, interdigitated channels for uniform, low-pressure flow through porous electrodes for desalination and beyond. Electrochimica Acta , 2025; 514: 145632 DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2024.145632 ...
