New Solvent Improves on an Emerging Desalination Technology Written by AZoMFeb 12 2021 Researchers predict that two-thirds of the global population could be affected by freshwater shortage by 2025. To address this problem, scientists from the University of Notre Dame have found that a new solvent an ionic liquid enhances a budding desalination technology: directional solvent extraction.

This implies that the extraction method could use waste heat, or heat generated as a byproduct of other work, and solar heat. ....
