Scientists at MIT, in collaboration with Jain Irrigation Systems in India, have developed an innovative portable desalination system.
This solar-powered device uses electrodialysis to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water.
By passing water between two oppositely charged electrodes, it effectively removes salt, making 90% of the treated water drinkable.
In comparison, traditional reverse-osmosis methods only manage to convert 40-60%.
This new system is not only more efficient but also cost-effective. It can desalinate 2,100 gallons (7,950 liters) of water in just 24 hours.
This technology offers a solution for drought-affected regions like …
