Desalination brine disposal methods and treatment technologies - A review.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Brine, also known as concentrate, is the by-product of the desalination process that has an adverse impact on the environment due to its high salinity. Hence, viable and cost-effective brine management systems are needed to reduce environmental pollution.

The upper bound of thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes for desalination

Journal of Membrane Science, 2019
Membrane separation properties are constrained by a tradeoff relationship between permeability and selectivity. This tradeoff relationship has been well established for gas separation membranes in the form of the Robeson's upper bound.
