Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ...
Application of carbon nano-materials in desalination processes
(2013-01)
Scarcity of freshwater resources increases the importance of seawater and brackish water desalination processes. However, still, large amount of specific energy requirement, leading to high operational costs, presents a ...
Water desalination by forward (direct) osmosis phenomenon: A comprehensive review
(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 ...
Produced water treatment: Application of Air Gap Membrane Distillation
(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 ...
Treatment of high salinity solutions: Application of air gap membrane distillation
(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 ...
Review and Assessment of the Newly Developed MD for Desalination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09)
Although reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane seperation process which leads to the desalination market for both seawater and brackish water desalination, other newly developed membranes processes are emerging to be well ...
Experimental study of high-performance hybrid NF-MSF desalination pilot test unit driven by renewable energy
(2013-03)
This study presents the experimental results of a renewable energy (RE) driven, high-performance multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination unit integrated with nanofiltration (NF) membrane. The desalination pilot test is built ...
Optimal design of a hybrid solar-wind power to drive a small-size reverse osmosis desalination plant
(2013)
Providing clean water to small communities using renewable energy (RE) has long posed as a humanitarian challenge. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination has been proven as a mature technology for supplying fresh water for ...
Coupling of copper-chloride hybrid thermochemical water splitting cycle with a desalination plant for hydrogen production from nuclear energy
(2010-02)
Energy and environmental concerns have motivated research on clean energy resources. Nuclear energy has the potential to provide a significant share of energy supply without contributing to environmental emissions and ...
Numerical Simulation of Vapor Flow and Pressure Drop across the Demister of MSF Desalination Plant
(Elsevier, 2012-03)
This paper presents a numerical simulation of the water vapor flow in an MSF flash chamber along with the pressure drop across the demister. The demister is a simple porous blanket of metal wires mesh (usually made of ...
