Ammonium removal from synthetic wastewater promoted by current generation and water flux in an osmotic microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Recovering useful resources from wastes represents a new approach of clean production with significant environmental and economic benefits. Ammonium nitrogen, which is an important inorganic contaminant and also a resource ...
Evaluation of ultrafiltration and multimedia filtration as pretreatmeprocess for forward osmosis
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
In order to reduce scaling in a multistage flash (MSF) desalination plant, the brine reject can be diluted using forward osmosis (FO) before recycling. In this FO process, the brine is used as the draw solution (DS) and ...
A novel empirical method for predicting concentration polarization in forward osmosis for single and multicomponent draw solutions
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Concentration polarization is one of the inherent problems in forward osmosis membrane process. A quantitative evaluation of concentration polarization is therefore vital to understand its impact on the performance of the ...
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 ...
Dilution of seawater using dewatered construction water in a hybrid forward osmosis system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, dewatered construction water was used for the first time as the feed solution in a combined pretreatment-forward osmosis process to dilute seawater (i.e. draw solution) for further desalination. It was found ...
Thermo-economic assessment of forward osmosis as pretreatment to boost the performance and sustainability of multi-effect distillation for seawater desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This work presents the thermodynamic and techno-economic assessment of a forward osmosis – multi-effect distillation (FO-MED) system able to improve the thermal performance of the MED seawater desalination process and ...
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 ...
Optimization of magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for high water flux in forward osmosis
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, bare iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and used as a draw solute in forward osmosis. The synthesis conditions of the nanoparticles were optimized using the Box-Behnken ...
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) ...
Developing sustainable draw solute for forward osmosis process using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Forward osmosis is the least energy intensive water treatment membrane process, however, designing a sustainable draw solute is still a critical research necessity. In this work, we developed Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer ...
