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 ...

In early 2018, Cape Town, South Africa came dangerously close to being the world’s first major city to run out of water. People lined up for blocks to collect spring water. Stores sold out of ...

The dual "thermal + membrane" technology leads green water treatment solutions, sets global benchmark for project ...

Clean water is essential for human survival. However, less than 3% of fresh water can be used as drinking water. According to a report published by the World Meteorological Organization, there is ...

Freshwater shortages are projected to increase in our hotter and more crowded future. Already, 150 countries desalinate seawater, using fossil fuels. But supplying an ever-increasing basic need with ...

Scientists in Hungary have built a prototype of a thermal distillation device, supported by PV power. The PV panels use an IoT component that self-cleans when dust is detected and cools itself when ...

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermal‐driven separation process that offers a sustainable alternative for desalination and water treatment. By utilising hydrophobic, microporous membranes ...

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 ...

Over one-third of the world’s population lacks access to clean water. Sunlight-driven distillation, which can desalinate seawater and purify contaminated water, is a sustainable, cost-effective way to ...

Dr. Ekaterina Pomerantseva gets the same reaction each time she tells people about her most recent work: we didn’t realize Drexel University is doing water desalination research. Rest assured. Drexel ...
