Low energy consumption sustainable New technologies are rapidly turning seawater into drinking water.

Researchers at Monash University in Australia and their international counterparts have developed a new saltwater desalination technology that can quickly convert salt water such as seawater into drinking water using special materials and reuse them after sunlight, according to a new study in materials published in the British journal Nature Sustainable Development.
the process of obtaining fresh water from seawater, known as desalination. The desalination methods used in general include seawater freezing, electrodialysis, distillation, reverse osmosis and ammonium carbonate ion exchange. In the study, researchers added polychrofurene acrylates to the pores of a metal organic frame material to obtain a material called PSP-MIL-53. According to reports, this material can be within 30 minutes of seawater and other salty water salts and harmful particles adsorption, and water quality to meet the World Health Organization's drinking water safety standards. Subsequently, as long as the sun shines, the material will quickly release adsorption of salt and other particles, so that it can be reused. The material filters out 139.5 litres of drinking water per kilogram per day and consumes far less energy than existing saltwater desalination technologies.
, a professor of chemical engineering at Monash University and lead researcher at Monash University, says one way to address the drinking water shortage crisis worldwide is to desalinate salt water such as seawater. However, commonly used technologies currently have the disadvantages of high energy consumption and the need to add additional chemicals, and this new technology can use sunlight to achieve sustainable salt water desalination, opening a new path for the development of low-energy, sustainable salt water desalination technology.
