Membrane distillation: recent technological developments and advancements in membrane materials
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article Review)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a novel desalination technology that has potential to produce distilled quality water from high salinity brine streams. The driving force for MD is the vapor pressure difference across a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
An overview of water desalination systems integrated with renewable energy sources
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Nowadays, the growing world population, climate change, pollution, rising consumer demand, and resource exploitation have contributed to a freshwater shortage. Hence, water desalination is heavily used for freshwater ...
Desalination in the GCC countries- a review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are located in one of the most arid regions in the world with very less freshwater resources, and hence depending on desalination plants to tackle the water scarcity and satisfy ...
