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 ...
Harvesting of Chlorella sp. microalgae by dielectrophoretic force using titanium dioxide (TiO2) insulated electrodes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The harvesting of microalgae using conventional technologies suffers from biomass contamination, high energy consumption and long processing time. In this study, titanium dioxide insulated stainless steel electrodes were ...
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 ...
Artificial neural network modeling of wastewater treatment and desalination using membrane processes: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
The freshwater scarcity is causing a major challenge due to the growing global population. The brackish water and seawater are the biggest sources of water on the planet. Therefore, using desalination and water treatment ...
The influence of aeration scheme and aeration rate on the permeate flux for wastewater treatment using membrane bioreactors: Experimental and artificial neural network modeling
(
Desalination Publications
, 2021 , Article)
In this paper, the effect of time, aeration scheme, aeration rate, and mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) concentration on the permeate flux in membrane bioreactors have been studied. Aeration rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 ...
Nanoparticles functionalized ceramic membranes: fabrication, surface modification, and performance
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article Review)
Membrane technologies are used intensively for desalination and wastewater treatment. Water filtration using ceramic membranes exhibited high performance compared with polymeric membranes due to various properties such as ...
Prediction of Breaks in Municipal Drinking Water Linear Assets
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2021 , Article)
Improper asset management practices increase the probability of water main failures due to inactive intervention actions. The annual number of breaks of each pipe segment is known as one of the most important criteria for ...
The impact of electric field on the demulsification efficiency in an electro-coalescence process
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, the influence of the electric field and its determining parameters such as voltage, inter-electrode distance and frequency on the demulsification efficiency of a water-in-oil emulsion was studied. The numerical ...
Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
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 ...
