Desalination of Brackish Water/Seawater via Selective Separation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Desalination can be carried out in water to remove any salt. The process takes place after tertiary treatment of municipal and industrial waste water as a final treatment before discharge to the recipient. The desalination of seawater using Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) technique is now a tried and proven technology that can provide high-quality water supply. The resulting from R.O. water is not suitable for drinking. The method proposed in this paper is selected desalination via zeolitic micro-particles. The method exhibits some significant advantages such as the easy recovery and reuse of powders (with negligible losses during the release process of trapped ions in liquid solution), the selective removal of ions and the ability of producing directly potable water without the need for further enrichment.
