Compare and contrast: Making clean water more accessible: New membrane filter enhances desalination speed and cost-effectiveness

When you drink a nice refreshing glass of water, do you ever think, “Gee, I’m glad that polymeric desalination membrane did its job!” Probably not, but maybe you should. Those thin polyamide, or plastic-like, membranes work as filters that turn salty water into fresh drinkable water. The salt-blocking membranes are widely used to turn both slightly salty water (brackish water) and seawater into fresh water.   Click here to read the story.   Click the following link for more information on Infrastructure.
