새로운 방법은 폐기물 없이 바닷물을 식수로 바꾼다

With 2.2 billion people globally lacking safe drinking water, University of Rochester's solar desalination breakthrough solves the critical flaws of conventional methods—it generates fresh water using only sunlight while eliminating toxic brine discharge and chemical preprocessing. Simultaneously, the technology extracts valuable minerals like lithium for battery production, making clean water and strategic mineral recovery economically viable through renewable energy.
