Filter Out 100% of Salt from Seawater with Waste Rice Husk
SIL-RH: From Seawater to Freshwater
Tags: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia, Energy & Environment, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing
The "SIL-RH from Seawater to Freshwater" innovation utilizes a ceramic hollow fiber membrane made from rice husk to convert seawater to freshwater, filtering out 100% of salt content efficiently. This technology operates effectively at high temperatures and pressures, offering a sustainable solution to freshwater scarcity. It's designed for areas with limited access to potable water, leveraging waste rice husk for membrane production, thereby addressing environmental concerns. This approach is more cost-effective compared to traditional desalination methods, offering a promising alternative for water purification.
