1. 1. Desalination of Archaeological Iron Objects in Vacuum

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

   Author : Aleksi Pienimäki; [2023-12-13]
   Keywords : Archaeological iron; desalination; vacuum;

   Abstract : This work investigates the efficiency of commercially available vacuum containers as a physical deoxygenation method for desalination solutions for archaeological iron. Other factors are investigated as well, such as the effect of cleaning the objects of their corrosion crusts before treatment and drying them between subsequent treatment baths. READ MORE

3. 2. Turning Oil Into Water : Water security in the Middle East and North Africa

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Frida Salberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Water security; peak oil; desalination;

   Abstract : This study examines the relationship between oil supply and water security in the Middle East and North Africa. The aim is to see if countries without oil have a harder time mitigating water scarcity, as well as if countries with oil can be expected to become more vulnerable when oil becomes scarcer.

4. 3. Addressing Water Scarcity in La Guajira: A Comparative Analysis of Four Water Systems

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Johan Hedstrand Welander; [2023]
   Keywords : Drought; wells; desalination; La Guajira; Colombia; windmills; solar panels; MFS; Minor Field Study; development;

   Abstract : During the recent prolonged drought in La Guajira, Colombia, the child mortality rate surged to 23.4 per 1000. With the focal point in rural Alta Guajira, a lack of rainfall and wind resulted in an acute potable water scarcity. READ MORE

5. 4. Faradaic Reactions in Capacitive Deionization : A Comparison of Desalination Performance in Flow-through Cell Architectures

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : John Bradley; Miranda Carlström; [2023]
   Keywords : Capacitive deionization; Faradaic reactions; Flow-through CDI; Upstream anode; Downstream anode; Desalination Performance; pH fluctuations;

   Abstract : Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technology that utilizes an electric field to extract ions from water. Flow-through CDI systems show potential for superior desalination performance compared to traditional flow-by CDI; however, they face the challenge of increased occurrence of Faradaic reactions, leading to undesired by-products and reduced energy efficiency.
