A Comprehensive Review on Membrane Fouling: Mathematical Modelling, Prediction, Diagnosis, and Mitigation
AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Darwish, Naif; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2021)Membrane-based separation has gained increased popularity over the past few decades, particularly reverse osmosis (RO). A major impediment to the improved performance of membrane separation processes, in general, is membrane ... -
Impact of Ionic Strength and Charge Density on Donnan Potential in the NaCl-Cation Exchange Membrane System
Al-Sakaji, Baraa A. K.; Husseini, Ghaleb; Darwish, Naif (MDPI, 2023)This work aims to theoretically investigate the effect of both the fixed charge density of ion exchange membranes and the ionic strength of the treated aqueous NaCl solution on the generated Donnan potential at thermodynamic ... -
Optimization and Cost-Oriented Comparison of Ammonia- and Propane-Compression Refrigeration for the Recovery of Natural Gas Liquids
Chebbi, Rachid; Qasim, Muhammad; Darwish, Naif; Ashraf, Muhammad Tahir (2013-09)Optimization and a cost-oriented analysis, including the capital and energy-of-compression costs, were performed to compare propane- and ammonia-refrigeration economizer cycles with and without presaturators. The simulation ... -
Produced water treatment: Application of Air Gap Membrane Distillation
Alkhudhiri, Abdullah; Darwish, Naif; Hilal, Nidal (2013-01)Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented to treat produced water. The permeate fluxes, rejection factor and energy consumption for three different membranes, TF200, TF450 and TF1000, with pore sizes of ... -
A Review on Membrane Biofouling: Prediction, Characterization, and Mitigation
AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Darwish, Naif; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022-12-15)Water scarcity is an increasing problem on every continent, which instigated the search for novel ways to provide clean water suitable for human use; one such way is desalination. Desalination refers to the process of ... -
Statistical analysis of air-gap membrane desalination experimental data: Hypothesis testing
Alcheikh Hamdona, Azza; Hilal, Nidal; Darwish, Naif (Elsevier, 2015-04)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is temperature gradient rather than conventional ones based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, and freezing point ... -
Treatment of high salinity solutions: Application of air gap membrane distillation
Alkhudhiri, Abdullah; Darwish, Naif; Hilal, Nidal (2012-02)Air Gap Membrane Distillation, using a high concentration of NaCl, MgCl2, Na2CO3, and Na2SO4, is implemented in this study. Permeate fluxes are measured for different feed concentrations and membrane pore sizes (0.2 and ... -
Treatment of saline solutions using Air Gap Membrane Distillation: Experimental study
Alkhudhiri, Abdullah; Darwish, Naif; Hilal, Nidal (2013-08)Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented for four different salts. The permeate fluxes of sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) are ... -
Water desalination by forward (direct) osmosis phenomenon: A comprehensive review
Qasim, Muhammad; Darwish, Naif; Sarp, Sarper; Hilal, Nidal (2015)Forward osmosis (FO) is a developing technology, which is thought to have a potential of producing potable water in an energy-efficient manner. FO is driven by the natural osmotic pressure difference across a semi-permeable ...
