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.

Reverse Electrodialysis: Potential Reduction in Energy and Emissions of Desalination
Applied Sciences, 2020 Salinity gradient energy harvesting by reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a promising renewable source to decarbonize desalination. This work surveys the potential reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions gained from RED integration in 20 ...

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 ...

New Results on Joint Classification of Vertical Structure of Ocean Properties at a Global Scale
IEEE Access, 2020 Ocean temperature, salinity, and electric conductivity are essential ocean properties. Their structure and changes directly impact physical, chemical and biological processes in oceans.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The buoyant river plume front exhibits substantial variability in the sea surface under energetic external forcing. Although highly dynamic, the river plume is often “rooted” at specific locations through the bottom river plume front.
