Business Opportunity Originated‚ Screened and Confirmed Viable: Water desalination is the removal of salts and dissolved solids from saline water (brackish or seawater)‚ also known as Desalting or Desalinization. In addition to the removal of minerals‚ the process removes most biological or organic chemical compounds. Desalination systems have been used to supply potable water for coastal communities and urban centers in more than 40 countries. Desalination plants operate in almost all of the world’s

Worldwide‚ an estimated 24.7 million acres of once agriculturally productive land are being lost annually due to irrigation-induced salinity‚ according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus‚ crop production is limited by salinity on 40% of the worlds irrigated land and on 25% of the irrigated land in the United States. These statistics indicate that the progressive loss of farmable land is on a crash course with the expanding

Gulf countries depend heavily on seawater desalination for drinking water. But experts warns that pollution of gulf water could soon make it impossible to treat seawater for human consumption. According to ram Prasad a oil and gas expert in Dubai claims that increasing urbanisation led to dumping of sewage‚ hazardous waste and toxic chemicals in to the

The treatment of the seawater for remove impurities is as the traditional treatment (coagulation‚ flocculation‚ chemicals‚ and sand filters). After this is though other filter the diatomaceous which remove silt and fine particles. Thus‚ the next process is the reverse osmosis which the membrane separated the water in potable water and concentrated seawater. The concentrated seawater need to dissolve by chemical for

Effect of Salt Solution on Mung Bean Growth Hypothesis: If the Mung Beans are watered with a higher salt solution‚ then less Mung Beans will sprout. John Murrell 9-18-12 Magnet Biology Introduction This experiment was done to test the effect of salt solution on mung bean growth. Generally when you grow mung beans you soak them in water for eight to twelve hours and then put them in a separate container to sprout. Since this experiment was not monitored every hour‚ and had limited

Discussion Section-1 November 17‚ 2011 The other CO₂ Problem Todays oceans are not the same as they once were prior to the industrial revolution. The ocean serves as a reservoir for the worlds green house gasses. The increase in anthropogenic CO₂ has also resulted in an increase in the uptake by the ocean of CO₂. As a result of this uptake‚ the ocean is becoming progressively more and more acidic. This acidification of the ocean is expected to have great impacts on marine ecosystems. Coral
