E2.18 Finnerty 2018 ReNUWIt Annual Meeting Poster
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Desalination is an inherently energy-intensive process. However, energy is all around us; from the hydrogen bonds formed by water to the rays of light coming from the sun. Drawing inspiration from nature, the goal of this research is to develop a new technology that harness energy from primary sources to separate brine into its two fundamental components: water and salt. Through advancements in material science and a growing understanding of the physics behind evaporation, our lab is developing an sustainable solution to off-grid desalination.
