Sweet water for Meerensee area (South Africa)



THE desalination plant at Alkantstrand is already in production and by the time it is commissioned on 1 February, it will supply enough water to supply Meerensee, Mzingazi and Mbonambi.

Speaking at a drought crisis meeting in Richards Bay on Tuesday, Muneka Paradzai, Project Manager at the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) said the salt water to drinking water plant was already producing 3.5 megalitres (Ml), which would climb to 10Ml in full production.

‘Testing is being done and the taste is excellent – slightly sweeter than consumers are accustomed to.

‘The water from the plant will be sent to the Meerensee [

Bimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks Derived Porous Carbon Nanostructure for High Performance Membrane Capacitive Desalination

Membrane-based capacitive deionization (MCDI) is a novel method of desalination that promises to alleviate the stress of water shortage. Current techniques show limited efficiency in salt removal and experimental results suggest that an improvement in electrode materials could be the cornerstone of MCDI. In this study, bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (BMOFs) have been used as precursors to develop porous carbons for MCDI electrodes. BMOFs are a unique class of MOF that possess two types of metal ions with properties dependent on the ratio of the metal ions. In our work, we have synthesized a series of BMOFs with different molar [
