"New technology purifies water using sunlight using a metal-organic framework. These so-called MOFs separate the salty solute found in brackish and seawater. The concept could provide potable water for millions of people across the world.
Scientists have developed new technology that can turn seawater into clean drinking water in less than 30 minutes.
Researchers based in Australia used a metal-organic framework (MOF), a type of lattice-like crystal, to desalinate water.
The hollow framework of pores separates the salty solute within the brackish water or even saltier seawater, in a process known as molecular sieving."
