The availability of water for hydraulic fracturing and for water flooding is one of the major problems faced by oilfield operations. Early solutions involved reliance on nearby municipal and ...

As access to clean water continues to be an issue throughout the developing world, there's an increased demand for easier ways to turn contaminated and salty water into something you can drink.

In this video from the 2016 Stanford HPC Conference, Clara Druzgalski PhD, from Stanford University presents: Using HPC to Advance Water Desalination By Electrodialysis. “Electrodialysis is a ...

To build a single filter that could both capture metals and remove salt, my colleagues and I first needed a material that could remove many different contaminants — mostly heavy metals — from water.

MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kilograms, that can remove particles and salts to generate drinking water. The suitcase-sized device, which requires ...

Researchers developed a new membrane that selectively filters out lithium from brines, offering a faster, cleaner way to ...

It should be noted that the system is a little more complex than it sounds, as it actually incorporates a two-stage process in which the water first passes through a set of six ICP modules, then ...
