Photothermal Membrane Distillation for Seawater Desalination
Advanced Materials, 2016Thermoplasmonic effects notably improve the efficiency of vacuum membrane distillation, an economically sustainable tool for high-quality seawater desalination. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes filled with spherical silver nanoparticles are used, whose size is tuned for the aim.

Seawater desalination by electrodialysis
Desalination, 1978Abstract The first seawater desalination plant by electrodialysis in the world started its operation in September, 1974 at Noshima island of Hofu city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. The capacity of the plant is 120 m3/day and the plant has been supplying fresh water from the sea for the 800 inhabitants of the island. Batchwise operation is utilized to

Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination
Materials Performance, 2020It is estimated that by the year 2025, more than 60% of the world population living in 88 countries is expected to face serious water shortage. Severe water shortages are mainly due to explosive population growth, extensive changes in human lifestyle, increased industrial activities, and pollution.

Integrated membrane operations for seawater desalination
Desalination, 2002Reverse osmosis is widely applied to water desalination because of the relatively low cost of the process. Besides the well defined role that this technology plays in the desalination scenario, in the last years, from all over the world, demand for lower costs and higher quality of water has been advanced.

Integrated membrane systems for seawater desalination
Desalination, 2006In the present work, seven different flow sheets for seawater desalination process have been analyzed. In each of them, except for the first (FS1) constituted by the only RO unit, different membrane units have been integrated in order to reach all the important benefits in the logic of process intensification: RO operates on NF permeate in FS2; both MF
