Silica-based chelating resin bearing dual 8-Hydroxyquinoline moieties and its applications for solid phase extraction of trace metals from seawater prior to their analysis by ICP-MS
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Solid phase extraction (SPE) using chelating resins has been established as a convenient technique for samples pretreatment prior to trace metal analysis from complex matrices. Oxine chelating agents (e.g., 8-Hydroxyquinoline ...
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 ...
Membrane distillation: recent technological developments and advancements in membrane materials
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article Review)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a novel desalination technology that has potential to produce distilled quality water from high salinity brine streams. The driving force for MD is the vapor pressure difference across a ...
Qatar desalination research: An overview
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
As freshwater scarcity has intensified in Qatar, seawater desalination has been established as a strategic and prominent industry. This study thoroughly analyzes the current status of seawater desalination research and ...
Recent progress in reverse osmosis modeling: An overview
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The increasing worldwide demand for freshwater production requires new and sustainable processes to overcome the shortage of clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is regarded as the most efficient type of desalination technology ...
Synthesis and characterization of stable anion exchange membranes for desalination applications
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This research reports the synthesis of stable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and triethylamine (TEA) for desalination applications. The successful synthesis ...
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 ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Performance of the pressure assisted forward osmosis-msf hybrid desalination plant
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
An osmotically driven membrane process was proposed for seawater pretreatment in a multi-stage flashing (MSF) thermal plant. Brine reject from the MSF plant was the draw solution (DS) in the forward osmosis (FO) process ...
