Desalination technology: an environmentally friendly system that can create drinking water from the sea at the same time generating electricity and basic chemicals.
An Italian researchers group has developed an innovative technology (available for demonstration) able to treat sea water without membranes, producing at the same time electricity and basic chemicals as HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) and NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide). The technology is able to treat all the concentrated brines that are the end products if a reverse osmosis membranes system is used to treat sea water. The researchers are looking for commercial agency agreement with technical assistance.
