A method of desalinating water through application of acoustic pressure shock waves to a slush to separate ice crystals from brine and recovering desalinated water from the separated ice crystals.

This method pertains to mineral carbonization with the objectives of conserving water, decreasing the expenses associated with CO2 capture and permanent sequestration, generating carbon-negative electricity on-demand, and producing weathered aggregates, all while mitigating air and water pollution. The method primarily involves the recirculation of treated second solution to create a first solution, and the utilization of a third solution in an electrolysis process to generate hydrogen and oxygen.

The disclosure relates to a plant, especially power plant, for reduction of the carbon dioxide content in atmospheric air, especially for improvement of atmospheric air quality. The plant has at least one electrolysis unit for oxygen production, at least one carbonization unit for carbon synthesis, especially a Bosch reaction unit, and at least one unit for cleaning of ambient air from an outside atmosphere surrounding the plant. The carbonization unit synthesizes carbon from carbon dioxide which is obtained from the atmosphere by means of the carbon dioxide sorption unit and this carbon is stored, in order to effectively reduce the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The disclosure further relates to a method of operating such a plant, with which the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere can be efficiently reduced.

A system and method for producing hydrogen (H.sub.2) gas and a magnesium (Mg)-aluminum (Al) based aqueous suspension from pre-prepared effervescent tablets are provided. The produced H.sub.2 gas can be stored in a tank or directly utilized in a fuel cell, whereas the produced suspension can be employed as an advanced heat transfer fluid in a variety of thermal applications. Furthermore, the as-prepared tablets are fabricated with a homogeneously mixed and well-compressed mixture of Al particles, Mg particles, and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO.sub.3) powder in a sealed container to prevent air and humidity from reacting with the raw materials. As a result of the chemical reaction between the tablet and water, H.sub.2 gas (in the form of bubbles) and the MgAl-based suspension are produced simultaneously. This system results in two products (i.e., H.sub.2 and suspension) that can be used individually or all at once by integrating the different system components together.
