Salts in Hot Water: Developing a Scientific Basis for Supercritical Desalination and Strategic Metal Recovery

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1872319· OSTI ID:1872319
The w21_superdesal project is part of an LDRD-DR on supercritical desalination (20190057DR). The goal of the simulation work is to use atomistic simulations to understand at a molecular level the changes in hydrogen bonding and ion solvation that occur as we increase the temperature and/or pressure and change the density and ion concentration. Our simulation results will also aid in the interpretation of experimental data and guide the development of applied thermodynamic models for engineering design calculations.
