Mineral recovery from sea water using sunlight energy

Asif Saud (PhD student)

We use sunlight to heat seawater so the magnesium inside can form tiny crystals. A special membrane helps this happen faster and cleaner, without big machines or heavy energy use. It’s a natural, low‑cost way to collect useful minerals straight from the ocean.
