Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
The development of a process simulator transport model for RO systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
This paper introduces solute-solvent interactions onto a universal transport modeling approach that has been recently introduced for predicting RO membrane performance. The mathematical modeling framework utilizes chemical ...
Modeling of forward osmosis process using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the permeate flux
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are black box models that are becoming more popular than transport-based models due to their high accuracy and less computational time in predictions. The literature shows a lack of ANN ...
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 ...
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–
...
Simultaneous treatment of reject brine and capture of carbon dioxide: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
The ongoing expansion of industries results in the increased emission of various pollutants into the environment, contributing to the rapid deterioration of air, water, and soil quality. Notable pollutants addressed in ...
Artificial neural network modeling of wastewater treatment and desalination using membrane processes: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
The freshwater scarcity is causing a major challenge due to the growing global population. The brackish water and seawater are the biggest sources of water on the planet. Therefore, using desalination and water treatment ...
Nanoparticles functionalized ceramic membranes: fabrication, surface modification, and performance
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article Review)
Membrane technologies are used intensively for desalination and wastewater treatment. Water filtration using ceramic membranes exhibited high performance compared with polymeric membranes due to various properties such as ...
Reduced titania nanorods and Ni–Mo–S catalysts for photoelectrocatalytic water treatment and hydrogen production coupled with desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents a ternary hybrid solar desalination process coupled with photoelectrocatalytic water treatment and H2 production in a single device. The desalination of brackish water in the desalination cell is initiated ...
A process for CO2 capture and brine salinity reduction through reaction with potassium hydroxide: A multi-stage evaluation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Solvay and modified Solvay processes are facing a major challenge in reducing brine salinity to a level suitable for agriculture and industry. This challenge arises as a result of competing reactions and mixing limits ...
