Taking salt out of the water equation

Thuwal, Saudi Arabia (SPX) Oct 07, 2022

Ultrathin polymer-based ordered membranes that effectively remove salt from seawater and brine could provide a promising alternative to existing water desalination systems, a KAUST-led team demonstrates. "Water desalination membranes should simultaneously exhibit high water flux and high salt rejection," says Yu Han, who led the study. Carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and gra
