While these plants were treating the water, the discharge process itself was contributing to the problem. Treated water, flowing through channels at high rates, intersected with the city drains at points where there were steep falls.…
Read MoreTurning seawater into Gold: An alternative to Desalination Plants
ABSTRACT This article explores an innovative and economical greenhouse technique that utilizes solar radiation and wind to simulate an artificial hydrologic cycle for harvesting pure water and minerals from seawater. The method employs simple and sustainable technology to evaporate seawater, condense the vapor into pure water, and collect precipitated minerals for further processing. Compared to conventional desalination plants, this approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for addressing global water and mineral needs. The article outlines the methodology, theoretical foundation, financial analysis, and schematic design of this technique. INTRODUCTION…
