Sunlight can turn seawater into clean drinking water in minutes – Brinkwire

Scientists have developed new technology that can turn seawater into clean drinking water in less than 30 minutes.
Researchers based in Australia used a metal-organic framework (MOF), a type of lattice-like crystal, to desalinate water.
The hollow framework of pores separates the salty solute within the brackish water or even saltier seawater, in a process known as molecular sieving. 
Under dark conditions, the framework absorbs salts and other impurities in the water in 30 minutes. The MOF i…
