IITGn researchers develop cost-effective, environment-friendly water desalination technique to make seawater drinkable
Indian Institute of Technology- Gandhinagar, IITGn researchers develop a cost-effective and environment-friendly water desalination technique to make seawater drinkable. The team created controllable water transport channels in graphite crystal with the help of an electric field and potassium chloride ions, which allowed only freshwater to move through the crystal and blocked the salt ions.<br />'' <br />''The research is inspired by the trees' natural intake of water that u...
