Desalinización
La tecnología de desalinización transforma el agua de mar en agua dulce para hacer frente a la escasez mundial de agua.

La desalinización es la disciplina industrial y de ingeniería que consiste en eliminar las sales y los minerales disueltos del agua de mar o del agua subterránea salobre para producir agua dulce potable o apta para el riego, y que actualmente abastece a más de 100 millones de personas en regiones con escasez de agua en Oriente Medio, el norte de África, las zonas costeras de Asia y, cada vez más, en el sur de Europa y América.

Reverse osmosis (RO) dominates current installed capacity, pushing saline feedwater at high pressure across thin-film composite polyamide membranes whose selectivity, fouling resistance, and boron rejection rates remain active material science research fronts; thermal processes — multi-stage flash distillation and multi-effect distillation — retain relevance where waste heat from power generation is available as a cost-free energy input. The field’s central engineering constraint is specific energy consumption: state-of-the-art RO plants with pressure exchanger-based energy recovery now approach the termodinámica mínimo para la desalinización de agua de mar, desplazando la diferenciación competitiva hacia la longevidad de la membrana, el diseño de la toma y la gestión del concentrado de salmuera, donde la toxicidad de la descarga y marina ecosistema El impacto atrae un escrutinio regulatorio cada vez más estricto.

Emerging process architectures — forward ósmosis, membrane distillation, capacitive deionization, and graphene oxide or aquaporin-based membranes — target niche feedwater chemistries or off-grid renewable-powered configurations where conventional RO economics break down.

Las publicaciones y patentes indexadas a continuación abarcan todo este espectro, desde la síntesis de membranas y la ingeniería de módulos hasta la termodinámica de sistemas, la valorización de salmueras, el acoplamiento de energías renovables y las evaluaciones hidrogeológicas de emplazamientos que rigen la viabilidad de las plantas:
