The steam then cools and condenses to form purified water. Distillation effectively removes inorganic compounds such as metals (lead), nitrate, and other nuisance particles such as iron and hardness ...

A few weeks ago, we wrote about a water distilling rig that [Kyle] hacked together, which allowed him to automate his distillation process. He took his project back into the workshop and tweaked a ...

Researchers from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Manufacturing have developed a novel off-grid direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system ...

Fractional distillation works because the different liquids have different boiling points. When the mixture is heated: vapours rise through a column which is hot at the bottom, and cold at the top ...
