RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS REPORT NO. 46nCORROSION OF METALS IN SEA WATER

摘要

One program which has gained national and international interest is that of the Office of Saline Water to develop methods of converting sea or brackish water to fresh water.nFor highly saline waters, such as sea water and brines from salt wells, many today favor distillation processes as the most economical method of producing potable water. Processes which can make use of waste heat (often available at shore-based steam plants, at refineries, and at chemical plants) are particularly attractive.
