Nanofiltration breakthrough paves the way for efficient seawater desalination.

Water Purification

Seawater desalination membranes get dirty and need cleaning to work well. Scientists tested different cleaning agents and found that using a mix of chemicals and switching between acidic and alkaline solutions cleaned the membranes best. This method helped the membranes work better, with a 94.2% increase in water flow and less cleaning chemicals needed.
