New processes like capacitive deionization aim to obtain more fresh water while using less energy. This technology has made great advances over the last few years
With the assistance of ACCIONA, LIFE DREAMER project is working on a promising project seeking to improve sustainable desalination by reducing the use of chemicals and repurposing the concentrated salt streams it generates.
Two species of water insects are behind the development of more efficient desalination membranes.
Scientists at the Complutense University (Spain) draw their inspiration from polar bear's fur to develop a nanostructured membrane capable of desalinating water.
This solar desalination system will also enable wastewater treatment or the sterilizing of medical instruments in isolated regions.
Solar-powered, the new portable desalination technology uses electricity instead of filters to remove salt and solid particles.
The “air-to-water” dispenser, presented at the latest CES show, produces drinking water at home without needing to connect to water mains.
Made from recycled plastic, the new floating desalination plant harnesses the sea's energy to produce fresh water.
A pioneering technology increases the efficiency of solar stills by 50 % thanks to fruit waste such as banana peels and a state-of-the-art material.
The extraction of high-value raw materials like lithium and rare metals from seawater desalination brine is a significant step toward achieving a circular economy.
