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 ...
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 ...
Electrodialysis based waste utilization methodology for the desalination industry
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
High salinilty wastewater and carbon dioxide are major hurdles in implementing a sustainable desalination technology. This study proposes an electrodialysis (ED) technique for onsite utilization of desalination reject brine ...
Carbon-Constrained and Cost Optimal Hybrid Wind-Based System for Sustainable Water Desalination
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Seawater desalination is one of the prominent solutions to cope with the water crisis. Suppling demanded energy and high investment and operation costs have been the most critical challenges facing the sustainable development ...
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 ...
Effect of fin configuration parameters on performance of solar still: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Drinking water is a necessity not only for humanity but also for the all living organisms available in the earth today. But the availability of the potable water is not in abundant amount; hence clean water is scarce in ...
Impact of high turbidity on reverse osmosis: Evaluation of pretreatment processes
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluates the performance of sand filtration (SF) and ultra-filtration (UF) as pretreat-ment processes for reverse osmosis (RO) for seawater with turbidities of 4.8, 23.2, and 99.7 NTU. For seawater with a ...
Optimization of multiple fuel utilization options in Tri-generation systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This work investigates the design of optimal tri-generation systems for heat, power and water production via multiple fuel selections, thus aiming to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel consumption. Generally speaking, ...
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 ...
Brine reject dilution with treated wastewater for indirect desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process was suggested as a pretreatment to a multi-stage flashing (MSF) plant to reduce the environmental impact of brine discharge and the chemicals used. Yet, there is no study investigating the ...
