Abstract

As the population grows and the economy thrives. The amount of edible water has decreased, and this phenomenon is raising awareness about water supply. Dumping salt into a bucket of water may seem like no big deal, but reversing the process is a lot more complicated than people might think. Seawater desalination technology is also a hot topic of research. There are two major techniques for desalting. One is distillation, and the other is reverse osmosis filtration. This essay mainly discusses how the two techniques work and what benefits human beings can possibly obtain from the future development of such technology based on existing literature and statistical data, namely prosperity. The result shows that the reverse osmosis process uses less energy in comparison to thermal distillation. However, desalination is not as easy as we expected. Regarding energy consumption and cost efficiency, scientists have to maintain high productivity while reducing the impact on the environment.
