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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

According to the World Health Organization, about 785 million people around the world lack a clean source of drinking water. Despite the vast amount of water on Earth, most of it is seawater and ...

Over the years, Malaysia has also built much expertise in membrane technology. We have witnessed much progress in enhanced membrane materials. One relates to nanocomposite and 2D material membranes.

Filtration and chemical separation have played a crucial role throughout history, from purifying water with gravel and sand to sieving curds from whey and distilling spirits. Today, these processes ...
