“…However, due to the increasing population, industrialization, global warming, agriculture activities, the shortage of clean water has become an urgent issue in many countries, especially in the Middle East and Africa [1,2]. Today, more than 1 billion people are denied the right to access clean water and about 2.6 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation [3,4]. Dirty water is the world's second biggest children killer [3].…”

“…Today, more than 1 billion people are denied the right to access clean water and about 2.6 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation [3,4]. Dirty water is the world's second biggest children killer [3]. For instance, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), 60% of water demand is provided by desalination, that is to say about 10 Mm 3 /day [5].…”

This article presents a systematic review on the past developments of Hydrate-Based Desalination process using Cyclopentane as hydrate guest. This is the first review that covers all required fundamental data, such as multiphase equilibria data, kinetics, morphology, or physical properties of cyclopentane hydrates, in order to develop an effective and sustainable desalination process. Furthermore, this state-of-the-art describes research and commercialization perspectives. When compared to traditional applications, cyclopentane hydrate-based desalination process could be a promising solution. Indeed, it operates under normal atmospheric pressure, lower operation energies are required, etc… However, there are some challenges yet to overcome. A decision aid in the form of a diagram is proposed for a new cyclopentane hydrates-based desalination process. Hopefully, concepts reviewed in this study will suggest new ideas to advance technical solutions in order to make commercial hydrate-based desalination processes a reality.
