In the desalination measures hydrophilic mineral wool can be considered as a possible alternative to the commonly used cellulose. Contrary to cellulose, it can be used repeatedly, and its effectiveness is higher because of the dominant mode of water transport along the hydrophilic fibers. In this paper, experimental investigation of desalination potential of several different types of hydrophilic mineral wools is performed. The obtained results show that high-density materials are the most effective for this type of application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
