Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...
Room-temperature development of thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes from cellulose acetate with antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
A cellulose acetate thin film composite (CA TFC) membrane was developed by direct casting of CA onto an ultrafiltration membrane support. The flux through the CA TFC membrane was, as expected, inversely proportional to the ...
Enhanced boron removal by electricity generation in a microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Boron needs to be removed during desalination, because excessive boron in the product water for irrigation can deteriorate plant growth. In this study, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) equipped with anion exchange membrane (AEM) ...
The Application of Nanoparticles of Waste Tires in Remediating Boron from Desalinated Water
(2017 , Master Thesis)
A waste tire rubber (WTR) collected from the remains discarded tires has exhibited a noteworthy capacity to adsorb Boron. In the current study, the boron adsorption remediation from water at selected pH values, initial ...
Techno-Economic-Environmental Study for Recovery of Novel Water Source within a Power Plant - Desalination Complex
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Book chapter)
The global water supply is at an already critical level; around 3.9 billion people (47% of the world population) will be subject to water stress in 2050, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ...
Electrocoagulation treatment of reject brine effluent from Solvay process
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity
is reduced by removing Na+
by adding NH3
. However, in this process large amounts of NH3
are
consumed and Cl–
...
Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...
CFD modeling and analysis of the behavior of 30° and 45° inclined dense jets - new numerical insights
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
A three-dimensional numerical model of inclined turbulent jets with negatively buoyant discharge into stationary ambient water is presented in this paper to study certain jet parameters with turbulence schemes that have ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Effect of membrane fouling on fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis desalination performance
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) has garnered immense attention for its application in the agricultural field and its potential to reuse wastewater sustainably. Membrane fouling, however, remains to be a challenge ...
