| Popis: |
The present water and energy crisis facing the world at large with the ever-growing population is one that demands careful attention by the research community. The treatment of seawater and brackish water by integrating renewable energy technologies into desalination processes holds a promising future for availing freshwater in areas of water scarcity across the globe. This chapter captures the different desalination technologies (such as thermal and membrane technologies) and different renewable energy technologies (like solar, wind and geothermal energies) that can be integrated into the process of water treatment for salt removal. Utilizing renewable energy technologies in desalination systems will serve as alternative where grid electricity is not available, reduce environmental pollution and cost. |
