NEWT's "nanophotonics-enabled solar membrane distillation" technology, or NESMD, combines tried-and-true water treatment methods with cutting-edge nanotechnology that converts sunlight to heat.

But the salt in water is too small to get trapped by those filters. Unless installing a desalination reverse osmosis water filter or distillation system is in the cards for your home, you'll ...

This article was originally published with the title “ Apparatus for Solar Distillation of Fresh Water from Salt Water ” in SA Supplements Vol. 16 No. 405supp (October 1883), p. 6461 doi:10. ...

The team’s approach is a twist on the process of membrane distillation, in which salt water is pumped through a film with narrow pores for filtering out everything except water molecules.

Currently, salt is removed from water using expensive and power-hungry desalination plants, of which there are 18,000 in 150 countries. This essentially boils salt water, with the steam then being ...

You report hopes that energy from evaporating water could rival wind and solar (7 October, p 19). Can solar distillation of salt water for irrigation be carried out economically using polytunnels ...

I re-ran the experiment with the super-hooch. This time, my alcohol-based distillation consisted of cocoa powder plus 200-proof and water in the standard condenser, versus straight water and cocoa ...

A Pittsburgh-based company is aiming to make the fracking process safer for the environment with an innovative approach to water purification, by reducing… Pittsburgh Company Cleans Fracking ...

Water enriched in the heavy isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen can be obtained ten times more efficiently by adding salt to the distillation process.
