Integration of monopolar and bipolar electrodialysis for valorization of seawater reverse osmosis desalination brines: Production of strong acid and base [PDF]
Water scarcity in the Mediterranean basin has been solved by using seawater desalination reverse osmosis technology (SWD-RO). This technology produces brine which is discharged back into the sea resulting in an environmental impact on marine ecosystems ...

Reverse electrodialysis: evaluation of suitable electrode systems [PDF]
Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a method for directly extracting electrical energy from salinity gradients, especially from sea and river water. For the commercial implementation of RED, the electrode system is a key component. In this paper, novel electrode systems for RED were compared with existing systems on safety, health, environment, technical ...

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

Photothermal Interfacial Evaporation Characteristics of PVA/SA–CNT–Borax Hydrogel
ABSTRACT The desalination of seawater has demonstrated significant potential to use solar‐driven interfacial evaporation technologies due to its sustainability, outstanding productivity, and kindness to the environment. In this paper, a hydrogel interfacial evaporator was produced, with PVA and SA as the base materials. The addition of carbon nanotubes

Enhanced Salt Removal of Fresh Water by Recovery-Reduced Ion Concentration Polarization Desalination
Here, we examine electromembrane systems for low-concentration desalination applicable to ultrapure water production. In addition to electrodialysis and ion concentration polarization (ICP) desalination, we propose a recovery-reduced ICP strategy for ...

A spectrophotometric study of blood group A-specific substance isolated from hog gastric mucosa [PDF]
A study of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of preparations of blood group A-specific substance isolated from hog gastric mucin supports the view that group A substance, and probably group O substance, has little specific absorption in this spectral ...
