drinking water desalination Articles

Several goals can be considered when optimizing blends from multiple water resources for urban water supplies. Concentration-response relationships from the literature indicate that a changed water quality can cause impacts on health, lifetime of consumer goods and use of water additives like softeners. This paper describes potential economic consequences of diluting Copenhagen's drinking water ...

In a nationally representative study with a sample size of 1495, Australian residents were asked about their attitudes to recycled and desalinated water. Specifically, they were asked to state how likely they would be to use these sources of water for 14 purposes. Recycled water was found to have a higher stated likelihood of being used for watering gardens (compared to desalinated water). No ...

With increasing shortage of fresh water globally, more countries are consuming desalinated seawater (DSW). In Israel >50% of drinking water is now derived from DSW. Desalination removes magnesium, and hypomagnesaemia has been associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Presently the impact of consuming DSW on body magnesium status has not been established. We quantified ...

This study was carried out to assess the potential formation of bromoform and bromate in drinking water samples prepared by blending desalinated and brackish ground water when disinfected by chlorination or ozonation methods. The levels of bromoform and bromate were determined under various treatment conditions including blending ratios, disinfectant dosage, temperature, and reaction time. ...

What is potable water?If you can drink it or cook with it, it’s potable. Potable water is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as water that is not contaminated with organic, inorganic, radiological, or microbiological pollutants and does not present any differences in taste, smell, or appearance. A majority of the earth’s population has regular and convenient access to ...

In the face of climate change and the water needs from a growing world population, the use of seawater or brackish water through desalination has increased in importance. The energy efficiency and production costs for desalination plants have been markedly improved. Recent techniques have made it possible to acquire reasonably cheap desalinated water from plants that are fully powered from wind ...

Technology breakthroughs continue to come with what appears to an exponential rate. Some 30 years ago, recycling wastewater from a manufacturing operation and 'zero' discharge were no more than a dream. A fine filter was something that was used only in laboratories by qualified technicians. If you had organic emissions, they were burned in flares, not RTOs. We no longer have to use boilers and ...
