Gday all,
ive been trying to find out why electrolysis isn't used / less feasible than RO in sea water desalination?
The chemistry for NaCl electrolysis is well understood and thus works, so why is it not feasible/less feasible than say RO whereby we are essentially pumping water through a rock?
Im guessing it has something to do with power requirements -> more expensive than R.O ?
