Dollars for Drops: Abatement Cost of Water for Irrigation in the Colorado River Basin

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Colorado River is a lifeline for more than 40 million people in the western United States. However, with climate change diminishing snowpacks in the Rocky Mountains and increasing demands from agriculture and urban areas, the river's flow has become insufficient to meet all the competing needs.

Diagnostic analysis of RO desalting treated waste water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Diagnostic analysis of reverse osmosis membranes that were fed with Western treatment plant (WTP) recycled water was investigated by both thermodynamic calculations and laboratory experiments in order to predict the feasibility of RO desalting for WTP.

Theory of membrane capacitive deionization including the effect of the electrode pore space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is a technology for water desalination based on applying an electrical field between two oppositely placed porous electrodes.

Three Dimensional Printing of Bioinspired Composite Aerogels for Solar Steam Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Freshwater scarcity demands efficient purification strategies. Inspired by desert grasses, reduced graphene oxide‐doped polyacrylamide aerogels with longitudinal grooves are fabricated via high‐speed three‐dimensional printing and freeze‐drying. The biomimetic design enables dual‐mode water transport, achieving a capillary flow of 2.16 cm in 10 minutes

Optimization of Ion Migration During Lithium‐Ion Recovery Through Electrodialysis by Numerical Simulations

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electrodialysis plays an important role in lithium extraction from brine. A two‐dimensional mathematical model for steady electrolyte transport during electrodialysis desalination is constructed in this study to uncover the mechanism of lithium‐ion transfer and forecast the behavior of electrodialysis.

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study
