Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane processes for brackish water treatment: Effect of pH and salt/calcium concentration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
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 ...
An investigation into fouling, wetting and their mitigation using commercial Antiscalant in membrane distillation desalination
(2017 , Master Thesis)
An experimental investigation into membrane fouling and loss of hydrophobicity was carried out in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) desalination of high salinity seawater. The membrane used was a commercial ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ...
Synthesis and characterization of stable anion exchange membranes for desalination applications
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This research reports the synthesis of stable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and triethylamine (TEA) for desalination applications. The successful synthesis ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
