Current Status and Development of Chinese Seawater Desalination Technology

Xiao Mei Deng, Li Zhen Gao

Abstract

Based on the increasingly harsh climate change and water scarcity in China, the seawater desalination is gradually becoming one of the important alternatives to solve the problems of water shortage. This paper makes a comparison among various technologies for seawater desalination and forecasts the development direction and the advanced desalination process merged with other green energy techniques.
