A Korean research team found a method to inhibit the fouling of membranes, which are used in the desalination process that removes salt and dissolved substances from seawater to obtain drinking, ...

Although water is often scarce for human consumption and agriculture, this planet is three-quarters covered by the stuff. The problem is getting the salt out, and this is normally done by the Earth’s ...

In the context of a severe global water scarcity, seawater desalination technologies have undergone rapid advancements. Among these, the freeze-thaw method, as a novel and emerging desalination ...

Providing fresh drinking water for our society is a challenge that has persisted through multiple efforts. Though water covers 71% of earth's surface, more than 2.5 billion people in the world lack ...

Chinese researchers have developed a photothermal material enabling energy-free seawater desalination, making freshwater ...

As the most water-scarce region on the planet, the Middle East is particularly reliant on desalination technology. Maxim Petrichuk/Shutterstock Clean freshwater is critical for sustaining human life.

From a fast-melting snowpack in the Sierra to over-pumped groundwater in the Central Valley and a drought on the Colorado ...

The state of California has dedicated $34 million for eight desalination facilities across the state amid growing concerns about water scarcity in the U.S. Desalination is when saltwater is converted ...

Often, the process leaves behind a toxic brine that can be difficult to dispose of. The new technique, which can easily be added to current membrane-based electrodialysis desalination processes, ...

Over the past year, researchers have been refining their unconventional desalination approach for hypersaline brines -- temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE) -- that shows great promise for ...
