  2. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    Knowledge of the thermodynamics of steam processes [24] and the need for a pure water source for its use in boilers [25] generated a positive effect regarding distilling systems. Additionally, the spread of European colonialism induced a need for freshwater in remote parts of the world, thus creating the appropriate climate for water desalination.

  3. Solar humidification - Wikipedia

    A Desalination Greenhouse using all of the effects in all categories, with an emphasis on the optimized combination of the effects including synergies, is the IBTS Greenhouse. The Global water cycle also includes all sub-effects of HDH, like increased evaporation over the oceans surface and surface increase by wind, making the generation of ...

    A positive effect of dust storm is the distribution of mineralogical nutrients which have a good influence on the marine ecosystem. ... The procedure of desalination ...

  5. Solar desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

    RO is the most common desalination process due to its efficiency compared to thermal desalination systems, despite the need for water pre-treatment. [39] Economic and reliability considerations are the main challenges to improving PV powered RO desalination systems. However, plummeting PV panel costs make solar-powered desalination more feasible.

    Right now, 16,876 desalination plants in 177 countries produce enough desalinated water to support up to 972 million people per day, which equates to only 1% of the world’s clean water supply ...

  7. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

    Multiple-effect distillation or multi-effect distillation (MED) is a distillation process often used for sea water desalination.It consists of multiple stages or "effects". In each stage the feed water is heated by steam in tubes, usually by spraying saline water onto th

  8. Vapor-compression desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_desalination

    The effect of compressing water vapor can be done by two methods. The first method utilizes an ejector system motivated by steam at manometric pressure from an external source in order to recycle vapor from the desalination process. The form is designated ejectocompression or thermocompression.

  9. Capacitive deionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_deionization

    Likewise, cations (positive charge) are stored in the cathode, which is the negatively polarized electrode. Today, CDI is mainly used for the desalination of brackish water, which is water with a low or moderate salt concentration (below 10 g/L).
