Titanium dioxide nanoparticles decorated by gold absorb about 96% of the solar spectrum and turn it into heat. The material can accelerate the evaporation in desalination plants up to 2.5 times and ...

A novel approach to make seawater evaporate faster than freshwater has been hailed as a significant breakthrough in desalination technology that will benefit billions of people worldwide. Up to 36% of ...

Flash evaporation represents a rapid phase change phenomenon whereby a superheated liquid is exposed to a sudden drop in pressure, resulting in nearly instantaneous vapour formation. In the realm of ...

OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EcoVAP, Inc. is proud to announce the first results of a pilot-scale EcoVAP Evaporation Matrix at the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (“BGNDRF ...

Freshwater is essential for human life and the scarcity of freshwater is a critical issue in parts of the world today. In recent years, scientists have put great efforts into developing desalination ...

Picture a world where we can efficiently desalinate seawater using just the power of sunlight, or where our cooling systems are powered by light instead of electricity. This might sound like science ...

Researchers developed a desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In addition to providing fresh water, the process could be used to treat contaminated ...

In a recent study published in the journal Applied Physics Reviews, researchers from the Nanyang Technological University introduced a novel technique for printing functional nanocomposites for ...

(Nanowerk News) Faced with the world’s impending freshwater scarcity, a team of researchers in Singapore turned to solar steam generators (SSGs), which are emerging as a promising device for seawater ...

A biodegradable nanocellulose and carbon aerogel uses sunlight to purify seawater efficiently, achieving high evaporation rates and strong salt resistance for sustainable, low-cost desalination ...

Solar still desalination primarily depends on evaporation and condensation to purify saline water for potable water generation. In this water treatment process, the incident solar irradiation ...
