Devices used in this process were fabricated using phase inversion by Loeb and Sourirajan, but today are made of phenylene-diamine in a thin-film composite that's spiral-wound.
artin Bazant's group has pioneered an approach to this process that uses a shock to create an over-limiting current and make ICP zones. The SIROTHERM form of this process is used exclusively in Australia. One type of this process uses an ammonia-CO2 draw solution. A device for this process has a heat reject and a heat gain section, each of which has stages called "effects". Devices used in this process were fabricated using phase inversion by Loeb and Sourirajan, but today are made of phenylene-diamine in a thin-film composite that's spiral-wound. (*) Algae cause fouling in this process. The energy requirement for it equals the volumetric flow rate times molarity times RT in the Morse equation. This process can be done using multi-stage flash distillation, electrodialysis, or reverse osmosis. For 10 points, name this process by which sea water is made potable.
