Remineralisation of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Using Synthetic Aragonite
Water and Environment JournalABSTRACT Reverse osmosis (RO) treated water often requires remineralisation to restore Ca 2+ ions, hardness and alkalinity, particularly for potable water. This study compares the dissolution characteristics of two forms of calcium carbonate, aragonite and calcite. Aragonite,

Fluorescence spectroscopy applied to the optimisation of a desalting step by electrodialysis for the characterisation of marine organic matter [PDF]
, 2009 The isolation and characterisation of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) are still not readily achieved today. The study of this chemically complex material is particularly difficult, especially as it is hindered by the high salinity of seawater.

Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2019 Abstract Membrane bioreactor (MBR) effluents of industrial wastewaters generally include high amounts of salinity, nitrate and hardness. Although MBR process can be applied for the production of low and/or medium quality water, nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) processes are needed for removal of excess salinity from MBR effluent. Since the
