Water desalination plants could replace expensive chemicals with new carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from seawater, ...
A new tapered flow channel design for electrodes improves the efficiency of battery-based seawater desalination, potentially ...
Engineers develop innovative carbon cloth electrodes for desalination, effectively eliminating boron and cutting treatment ...
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 ...
Desalination plants take in seawater through large pipes that ... After being filtered, water undergoes a process called "reverse osmosis" in which salt water is passed through membranes using ...
Membrane treatment is more efficient, while saltier water generates more brine. A common pairing, Qadir said, is a reverse osmosis desalination facility that uses sea water. For every 10 gallons that ...

Researchers strike the “Achilles Heel” of desalination
New technology cuts chemical and energy use of removing salt from seawater. It could save millions of dollars, making ...
In seawater, boron exists as electrically neutral boric acid, so it passes through reverse osmosis membranes that typically remove salt by repelling electrically charged atoms and molecules called ...
