Omani researcher develops new seawater desalination technology at Sohar Port – Oman
He added that this technology uses absorbent materials to capture water, leaving salt and other impurities behind. The process relies on advanced compounds such as silica gel and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have a high capacity for selectively absorbing water vapor from saline solutions. Once the water is absorbed, the material releases purified water through thermal desorption at zero pressure, ready for use.
