Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ...
Interaction of seawater microorganisms with scalants and antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this research, the interactions of seawater microorganisms with scalants (minerals like calcium sulfate) and antiscalants in the reverse osmosis (RO) systems were investigated. The interaction of seawater microorganisms ...
Improving properties of thin film nanocomposite membrane through polyethyleneimine intermediate layer: A parametric study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-interlayered thin film nanocomposite (iTFN) membranes were developed by establishing graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated polyamide (PA) layer atop PEI-coated polysulfone (PSf) substrate ...
An overview of brine management: Emerging desalination technologies, life cycle assessment, and metal recovery methodologies
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
This study examines which management methods are the most recent and advanced in managing rejected brine generated from desalination plants. It also provides up-to-date information regarding the most adequate technologies ...
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 ...
A hybrid nf-fo-ro process for the supply of irrigation water from treated wastewater: Simulation study
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Municipal treated wastewater could be considered as a water source for food crop irrigation purposes. Enhancing the quality of treated wastewater to meet irrigation standards has become a necessary practice. Nanofiltration ...
Comparison of nanofiltration with reverse osmosis in reclaiming tertiary treated municipal wastewater for irrigation purposes
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This study compares the performance of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) for the reclamation of ultrafiltered municipal wastewater for irrigation of food crops. RO and NF technologies were evaluated at different ...
Forward osmosis feasibility and potential future application for desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ...
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ...
Effect of polymaleic acid and microwave radiations on reverse osmosis membrane's performance and properties: A response surface methodology approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Polymaleic acid was tested for its ability to control inorganic fouling in reverse osmosis (RO) system for the first time as a membrane surface modifier. Using the design of experiments (DoE) based on the response surface ...
