ScienceSolar desalination system could avoid brine waste and recover lithium
A post sharing a University of Rochester report describes a self-cleaning system that turns seawater into fresh water, removing nearly all leftover salt as a solid.
TLDR
A user shared a University of Rochester report describing a solar-powered desalination system that removes nearly all leftover salt as a solid rather than producing brine—the concentrated salty wastewater from desalination. The report says the self-cleaning technology could also recover valuable minerals such as lithium, potentially turning waste into a useful resource.
