Portable MIT desalinater makes drinking water for 20Wh/litre

Researchers at MIT have produced a prototype water purifier that can turn cloudy seawater into drinking water using ~20Wh/litre. Developed under electrical engineer Professor Jongyoon Han, the unit fits into a small suitcase, and relies on multiple stages of ‘ion concentration polarisation’ (ICP), followed by electrodialysis to reduce residual salt concentration. ICP, pioneered by Han’s group, ...
