UAE is using, on a trial basis, salt-tolerant algae, also known as halophytic algae, as a natural and sustainable method to decrease salinity in seawater. ⊠UAE is using, on a trial basis, salt-tolerant algae â also known as halophytic algae â as a natural and sustainable method to decrease salinity in seawater. âOnce proved cost-effective, this cutting-edge technology will make the UAE the first country in the world to use salt-tolerant algae to desalinate water,â the minister said. Some species of salt-tolerant algae can absorb up to 50 times more salt than the concentration of salt in the water they inhabit, making them a natural way to desalinate water for portable use. In addition, the growing algae can be used to mitigate carbon [âŠ] UAE is using, on a trial basis, salt-tolerant algae, also known as halophytic algae, as a natural and sustainable method to decrease salinity in seawater.DME GmbH2018-03-22T18:17:31+01:00
Water for Perth increasingly supplied from desalination plants – Australia More than half of Perthâs water over the last two years was sourced from desalination, and demand for connections to water and sewerage infrastructure remained strong, according to a new report. The Economic Regulation Authorityâs (ERA) 2016-17 Water, Sewerage and Irrigation Performance report has found that 51.5 per cent of water sourced for Perth came from desalination in 2016-17. This was the first time that desalination accounted for more than half of Perthâs water. Perthâs two desalination plants operated at close to maximum capacity, producing a combined total of 149,823 megalitres. âThe increased use of desalination is the result [âŠ] Water for Perth increasingly supplied from desalination plants – AustraliaDME GmbH2018-03-14T16:12:49+01:00
BMBF fördert Forschungsprojekt in Griechenland âŠ. Ein weiteres Projekt wird es in der Materialforschung geben, die verbesserte Entsalzung von Meerwasser soll gefördert werden. Da Millionen Menschen weltweit keinen oder nur einen schlechten Zugang zu sauberem Wasser haben, soll mithilfe einer membranbasierten Technologie ein umweltfreundlicher Entsalzungsprozess mit niedrigen Kosten und geringem Energieverbrauch entwickelt werden. âŠ.

Are carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes now at large scale? Texas – Connecticut – USA Startup Mattershift says it has achieved a breakthrough in making carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes at large scale. The startup is developing the technologyâs ability to combine and separate individual molecules to make gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel using CO2 removed from the air. In an open-access paper in Science Advances, researchers from Mattershift and colleagues in the labs of Dr. Benny Freeman at The University of Texas at Austin and Dr. Jeffrey McCutcheon at the University of Connecticut confirmed that Mattershiftâs large-scale CNT membranes match the characteristics and performance of small prototype CNT membranes previously reported on [âŠ] Are carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes now at large scale?

AB 3056 â Future Desalination Legislation California – USA On the Assembly floor is a proposal to pursue statewide desalination policies. Assembly Bill 3056 (AB 3056) would use the Cobey-Porter Saline Water Conservation Law to make a legislative push for desalination proposals. The Cobey-Porter Saline Water Conservation Law requires the state to develop cost-effective and efficient water supply technologies. âDesalination technology is now feasible to help provide significant new water supplies from seawater, brackish water, and reclaimed water,â the language of AB 3056 stated. âThis bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation relating to desalination.â (LINK) AB 3056 â Future Desalination Legislation California – USADME GmbH2018-03-08T16:27:56+01:00
