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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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) ...
Governing desalination, managing the brine: A review and systematization of regulatory and socio-technical issues
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Desalination has become an attractive option for addressing water needs or solving problems of increasing water scarcity and short-term supply interruptions. However, several negative environmental impacts are associated ...
