Salinity Gradients for Sustainable Energy: Primer, Progress, and Prospects
Environmental Science & Technology, 2016 Combining two solutions of different composition releases the Gibbs free energy of mixing. By using engineered processes to control the mixing, chemical energy stored in salinity gradients can be harnessed for useful work. In this critical review, we present an overview of the current progress in salinity gradient power generation, discuss the ...

Impact of secondary salinisation on the structure and diversity of oligochaete communities
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Secondary salinisation has become one of the most important factors responsible for changes in the aquatic biota. Earlier research has focused on macroinvertebrates including oligochaetes in anthropogenically saline rivers and streams, but studies on ...

Salinity-gradient power: Evaluation of pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis [PDF]
Journal of Membrane Science, 2007 A huge potential to obtain clean energy exists from mixing water streams with different salt concentrations. Two membrane-based energy conversion techniques are evaluated: pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis. From the literature, a comparison is not possible since the reported performances are not comparable.

The microbial food web along salinity gradients [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2000 The microbial food web was studied along a gradient of salinity in two solar salterns used for the commercial production of salt. The different ponds in the salterns provide a wide range of ecosystems with food webs of different complexities. Abundance of prokaryotes, cell volume, prokaryotic heterotrophic production, chlorophyll a, abundance of ...

Salinity gradient energy generation by pressure retarded osmosis: A review [PDF]
, 2021 Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity between two streams into energy as it allows water transport through a semi ...
