A concise review of major desalination techniques: Features and limitations
This paper provides a succinct and simplified account of desalination techniques. The techniques are categorized as membrane-based, thermal-based, combined membrane/thermal-based and miscellaneous techniques. Essential features of membrane-based, thermal-based and combined membrane/thermal-based tec...
