Academic Studies in Iran Improving Seawater Desalination Process
“We use the output of the country's academic studies to improve the seawater desalination process and try to have minimal dependence on foreign equipment and raw materials,” said Javad Hosseini Ezzabadi, the managing director of the company stationed at the incubator center of the Islamic Azad University’s Chabahar branch.
“In particular, we are cooperating with the research center of this university branch on the sea turtle breeding project as part of social responsibility,” he added.
“The company's field of activity has been desalination of seawater and production of water needed for drinking and industry, and given that the Chabahar region suffers from a severe water shortage despite its proximity to the open sea, this industry can be a principled solution for providing drinking water and industry in the region,” Hosseini Ezzabadi said.
In a relevant development in January, Iranian researchers at Sharif University of Technology had succeeded in designing an innovative system that has a dual function of desalination of water and generation of energy.
In this technology, water purification is carried out simultaneously with the generation of electrical energy. Sodium chloride salt, the most abundant salt among the water salinity factors, is selectively removed from the water and simultaneously the energy required to light various LEDs is produced during the system recovery. This process is carried out by using nanomaterials.
The capacitive deionization method is called desalination of water by removing various salts and pollutants from it in the form of ions with the help of an electrochemical process.
Iranian scientists at the faculty of chemistry of Sharif University of Technology succeeded in designing an innovative system with an extraordinary dual function in purifying water from sodium chloride salt, the most abundant salt among the water salinity factors, selectively combined with the generation of the energy required to light various LEDs during the system recovery.
The special nanomaterials synthesized in this research, along with the unique design for producing energy from salted water, the low cost and environment-friendly nature of this technology, are the advantages of this research.
