Seca prolongada no Nordeste desperta interesse por dessalinização!

A escassez de água, em decorrência da seca que já dura cinco anos no Nordeste, despertou o interesse de empresas e governos para soluções de tecnologia que promovam a dessalinização da água do mar.

No último dia 13, o governo do Ceará lançou edital para contratar empresa responsável pela elaboração de uma planta de dessalinização na região metropolitana de Fortaleza, com capacidade para gerar 1 metro cúbico por segundo (m³/s) de água potável para a rede de abastecimento. Esse volume equivale a cerca de 15% do consumo de Fortaleza.

Desde 2016, os 17 municípios da região, […]

SPD trommelt gegen Chemie im Trinkwasser

Die Chemikalie Trifluoracetat (TFA) im Trinkwasser sorgt weiter für Ärger. Zum 1. April hat die Gemeinde Edingen-Neckarhausen den Wasserpreis um 35 Cent auf 2,10 Euro je Kubikmeter erhöht. Der Grund: Um den so genannten Maßnahmenwert von zehn Mikrogramm (Millionstel Gramm) pro Liter zu erreichen, muss Wasser aus Mannheim und Heidelberg zugekauft werden, voraussichtlich ab Ende des Jahres.

Als Quelle der Verunreinigung gilt das Unternehmen Solvay in Bad Wimpfen am Neckar. TFA ist ein Salz der Trifluoressigsäure, das bei der Produktion anfällt und mit dem Abwasser – legal – in den Neckar eingeleitet wird. (LINK)

Jordan and Saudi Arabia signed MOU feasibility study will be conducted on the construction of two small modular reactors in Jordan for the production of electricity and desalinated water

Although Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program is in its infancy, the Kingdom has plans to construct 16 nuclear power reactors over the next 20 years. A 2010 royal decree identified nuclear power as essential to help meet growing energy demand for both electricity generation and water desalination, while reducing reliance on depleting hydrocarbon resources.

In September 2015, contracts were signed between KA-CARE and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to support their cooperation in developing KAERI’s SMART (System-integrated Modular Advanced Reactor). This is a 330 MWt (100 MWe) pressurised water reactor with integral steam generators and advanced safety features.

Forschung zur CDI (kapazitive Deionisierung) ausgezeichnet

Der Saarbrücker Professor für Energie-Materialien, Volker Presser, und sein Team erhalten gemeinsam mit israelischen Kollegen den diesjährigen ARCHES-Preis der Minerva-Stiftung.

…

Volker Presser und Matthew Suss arbeiten seit rund fünf Jahren gemeinsam an Methoden, wie dieser Entsalzungsprozess effizienter vonstattengehen kann. Pressers Team ist dabei mehr experimentell orientiert, das Team von Matthew Suss‘ Team arbeitet zusätzlich auf theoretischem Gebiet. In mehreren Publikationen haben sie ihre Arbeit an einer neuen Generation von Elektroden beschrieben, die die Wasserentsalzung und die Entwicklung effizienterer Energiespeicher (Stichwort: Energiewende) vorantreiben sollen. Beide sind als Vorsitzender (Suss) und Stellvertreter (Presser) auch in der Internationalen Arbeitsgruppe für Kapazitive […]
