Applying Battery Breakthroughs to Desalination
Siddhant Singh, mechanical engineering PhD student, left, and David Kwabi, mechanical engineering assistant professor, discuss the operation of an electrochemical flow cell designed to desalinate water at the Battery Lab in the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project on the North Campus of the University of Michingan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
Kwabi is the primary investigator on this project which seeks to help with global water scarcity struggles. He and three mechanical engineering colleagues were award a ME Research Innovation Pilot grant as they continue working toward an energy-efficient electrochemical system to remove sodium chloride from brackish and sea water.
