Directional solvent for membrane-free water desalination-A molecular level study

Development of desalination technologies has been identified as vital to fulfilling future water demand. In this paper, we use molecular simulation to demonstrate that decanoic acid can dissolve water but reject salt, and itself is insoluble in water. We have recently demonstrated that the direction...
