Figure 1: Comparison of classical and directly heated membrane distillation. Here, we report the fabrication of porous thin-film CNT Joule heaters, and their stable operation in highly ionizable ...

A patented membrane-distillation process is to be enhanced to allow treatment of oil-contaminated water using a SGD$ 400,000 (US$ 312,000) grant from the Environment & Water Industry Programme Office ...

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging separation technology utilizing hydrophobic membranes to separate vapor from liquid, making it effective for desalination and wastewater treatment. The ...

Researchers from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Manufacturing have developed a novel off-grid direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system that ...

That ancient mariner was onto something when he said “water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink” – the vast majority of water on Earth is undrinkable. Desalination could be a vital technology to ...

Using solar energy and nanoparticles to make saltwater drinkable, researchers from Yale and Rice University have developed a system that could potentially be used off-grid in remote areas or in ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers presented a novel approach to fabricating an omniphobic membrane inspired by the unique surface structures of springtails, known for ...

Continuous sustainable industrial growth might be realized today and in the future with important innovations in process engineering. The process intensification (PI) strategy well represents the ...

The Ministry of Science and ICT said on the 15th that it will push ahead with on-site demonstration of next-generation seawater desalination technology together with the Korea Institute of Science and ...
