[Sea Water Desalination using Graphene] Project Development and Results

The outcomes of this project must design and build a desalination unit that can be used on seapods, ships and other living spaces. The results must include the following:

  • Cost of device
  • Method of creating graphene and graphene oxide membranes
  • Amount of sea water or dark water fed into the system
  • Amount of resulting fresh water in the fresh water chamber.
  • Time taken for to accumulate 1 liter of fresh water.
