invented scientists from Australia , a new way has turned the lives of millions around the world, and relating to the transfer of saline seawater or brackish to safe drinking water and clean in record time.
The researchers rely in their innovation on the organic metal frame (MOF) combined with sunlight to purify water in just half an hour, using a more efficient process than the currently available technologies, according to the “Science Alert” website.
The organometallic frames are highly arranged crystal systems, consisting of metal nodes linked by organic bonds in the form of ligands, thus forming porous structures with a high surface area, and we can obtain the result of this association on two-dimensional or three-dimensional networks with some other additions, and this system can be installed New to pipelines and other water systems to produce clean drinking water.
Based on early tests conducted in a study published in the journal “Nature”, the new technology is characterized by its cheap cost, stability, and reusability. It also produces water that meets WHO standards for water desalination. It can also produce about 139.5 liters (what Nearly 37 gallons) of clean water a day.
After just 4 minutes of exposure to the sun, the substance releases all the salt ions that have been absorbed by the water, and is ready for use again.
