Engineers develop electrodes to remove boron from seawater, cutting desalination costs and boosting sustainability in water treatment.

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 ...

Desalination of seawater with reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is a key technology for addressing water scarcity issues around ...

Engineers have found a way to eliminate the fluid flow 'dead zones' that plague the types of electrodes used for battery-based seawater desalination ... energy than reverse osmosis techniques ...

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 ...

A joint venture ( JV ) between Saudi Arabia-based Acwa Power and Turkish company IC Ictas Insaat has won the bid for the ...

Wan Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a dual-functional reverse osmosis ... purification, seawater desalination, and high ...

As part of metropolitan municipality City of Cape Town’s (CoCT’s) effort to diversify its drinking water supply resources, ...

Boron, a natural seawater component ... Initially, most salt ions are removed through reverse osmosis. In order to solve this problem, desalination plants usually add a base to change boric ...
