This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...

Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity is reduced by removing Na+ by adding NH3 . However, in this process large amounts of NH3 are consumed and Cl– ...

The ongoing expansion of industries results in the increased emission of various pollutants into the environment, contributing to the rapid deterioration of air, water, and soil quality. Notable pollutants addressed in ...

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 ...

In order to reduce membrane fouling propensity, membrane technologies in water treatment and desalination processes have been coupled with coagulation process. However, the fouling issues still persisted. It is believed ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper introduces solute-solvent interactions onto a universal transport modeling approach that has been recently introduced for predicting RO membrane performance. The mathematical modeling framework utilizes chemical ...

In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can ...
