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) ... -
Field evaluation of membrane distillation technologies for desalination of highly saline brines
( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid thermal-membrane desalination process that uses low-grade waste heat and hydrophobic membrane to produce high quality distillate. The MD process can treat highly saline brines that ... -
Ion-imprinted membranes for lithium recovery: A review
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)This review critically examines the effectiveness of ion-imprinted membranes (IIMs) in selectively recovering lithium (Li) from challenging sources such as seawater and brine. These membranes feature customized binding ... -
Reducing flux decline and fouling of direct contact membrane distillation by utilizing thermal brine from MSF desalination plant
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Fouling and scaling is one of the major challenges in membrane distillation process. This study investigates the utilizing of thermal rejected brine produced from multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) to minimize fouling ...
