Desalination

In this communication, a new Humidification De-Humidification process desalination technology is identified which has some advantages (such as: high energy performance, high recovery flow rate, energy recovery and so on) in comparison with other similar methods; this technology is named “Humidification C

Solar still desalination systems offer sustainable tools for fresh water production. However, their widespread application is often hindered by their relatively low production rates compared to other desalination methods. In this study, a simple amendment, in the form of a slowly-rotating hollow cyl

The desalination industry has been growing progressively in the last few decades. A large number of new plants are contracted every year. Strategic decisions related to plant locations and capacity, the selection of the desalination technology, and many other technical decisions related to the plant

i n f o Two reactors were operated for 20 desalination cycles (one desalination cycle contained 10 batch-fed operational cycles) with an initial Cr6+ concentration of 100 mg/L and pH values of 2.0 and 3.0, respectively. Curves of current density and cathode resistance are shown in Fig. 7 (A–B). As s

i n f o An FMDC can be an efficient method for desalination of brackish water with the additional function of copper(II) removal. The synthetic wastewater containing copper(II) in the cathode could accept electrons produced by a biofilm in the anode chamber, and the copper(II) was reduced to Cu2O/Cu.

Recent research reports have underlined reverse osmosis (RO) as the most optimized technology for water desalination related applications. However, implementing this technology to seawater desalination is facing challenges of membrane fouling. This includes membrane biofouling, organic and inorganic

A co-generation system producing electricity and freshwater by a solar field driven supercritical organic Rankine cycle (SORC) coupled with a desalination unit is proposed. The proposed system can use parabolic trough solar collectors (among other options) to produce 700 kW thermal energy with temper

This paper presents the results of membrane scaling studies obtained after eight months of desalinating geothermal water in an integrated system that combines iron removal, ultrafiltration and two independent reverse osmosis systems fitted with low-pressure brackish water reverse osmosis membranes tha

The fast-evolving world of nanotechnology captivates researchers in the state-of-the-art water desalination technologies. Rapid development and advancement have been reflected by a drastically increasing number of scientific investigation on the manipulation of nanomaterials in various desalination te

Most Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies did not quantify the aquatic eco-toxic potential (aquatic ETP) of the brine disposal mainly due to the limitation of current life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) approaches. The purpose of this study is to develop an improved approach for assessing the aquatic
