This book sketches out approaches for both the efficient, non-thermal use of energy and the molecular extraction of solutes, primarily from aqueous solution, for purification, pollution control, and resource extraction. It also notes some long-term implications for resource demand; in particular, defect-free fabrication at the molecular level is ultimately likely to make structural metals obsolete.
