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) ...
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–
...
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 ...
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 ...
Synoptic analysis of direct contact membrane distillation performance in Qatar: A case study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this study is to evaluate a bench scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance using flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane at different inlet flow rates, temperatures, and salinity ...
Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane processes for brackish water treatment: Effect of pH and salt/calcium concentration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In order to reduce membrane fouling propensity, membrane technologies in water treatment and desalination processes have been coupled with coagulation process. However, the fouling issues still persisted. It is believed ...
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 ...
