Gas Hydrate in Water Treatment Technological, Economic, and Industrial Aspects

As potable water shortages continue to affect billions of people worldwide, seawater desalination and wastewater treatment have the potential to meet freshwater demands in the near future. Gas hydrate-based desalination, a process which requires CO2and water as solvent, has become an increasingly popular approach-desalination with hydrates is environmentally friendly and can produce cheaper desalted water than other existing conventional technologies.
Gas Hydrate in Water Treatment: Technological, Economic, and Industrial Aspectsprovides detailed, up-to-date reference to the application of gas hydrates in wastewater and seawater desalination treatment. Edited by experienced researchers in the field, this comprehensive volume describes the fundamental aspects of desalination and summarizes the latest research on gas hydrate-based desalination. The authors address a broad range of key topics, including issues related to water scarcity, post-treatment of desalinated water using both conventional and new technologies, hydrate-based desalination methods driven by renewable energy sources, and more.
