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 ...

As many chemists know, the membrane distillation (MD) process has gained increasing popularity and attention for saline treatment, especially because of its extremely high salt rejection (the ...

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 ...

As we all know, membrane distillation (MD) process has gained increasing popularity and attention for saline treatment especially because of its extremely high salt rejection (the theoretical value up ...

Korean scientists claim a new desalination technique makes sea water fit to drink in minutes. The researchers used a membrane distillation process that resulted in 99.9 percent salt rejection for one ...

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 ...
