Gas hydrate-based desalination (GHBD) is an emerging and energy-efficient alternative to conventional desalination technologies. This study explores the potential of CO2 hydrate-based desalination for freshwater production, addressing global water scarcity and the high energy demands of traditional methods such as reverse osmosis. The process involves hydrate formation, solid-liquid separation, and dissociation to recover purified water. Results indicate promising desalination performance under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, with reduced energy requirements. The study also highlights potential applications, environmental benefits, and future research directions to enhance efficiency and scalability, positioning GHBD as a sustainable solution for water treatment.
