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 ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
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 ...
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ...
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 ...
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, ...
