Thermoresponsive Magnetic Nanoparticles for Seawater Desalination
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2013Thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a class of smart materials that respond to a change in temperature may by used as a draw solute to extract water from brackish or seawater by forward osmosis (FO). A distinct advantage is the efficient regeneration of the draw solute and the recovery of water via heat-facilitated magnetic separation ...

The Natural Vacuum Desalination Technology in Seawater Desalination
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014Seawater desalination technology is an important way to solve the freshwater shortage problem. Natural vacuum desalination (NVD) technology generates very low pressure environment in the headspace of 10 meters high water column. The weight of the water column is balanced by atmospheric pressure, and low-temperature desalination proceeds in the ...

Air humidification for seawater desalination
Desalination, 2003This paper presents the study of two types of air humidifiers, namely a tubular spray humidifier and a pad humidifier. These two humidifiers were studied as a part for a multiple stage solar desalination process. Comparative experimental results for the evaporation capacity of both humidifiers are presented for different operating conditions of air and

Advances in seawater desalination technologies
Desalination, 2008A number of seawater desalination technologies have been developed during the last several decades to augment the supply of water in arid regions of the world. Due to the constraints of high desalination costs, many countries are unable to afford these technologies as a fresh water resource. However, the steady increasing usage of seawater desalination

How Mangroves Desalinate Seawater
Physiologia Plantarum, 1968AbstractWater relations of a number of mangroves and other halophytes were studied. All mangroves had high negative pressure in the xylem (30 to 60 atm) which more than balances the osmotic pressure of the seawater (25 atm). Freezing a short stem section of an attached twig always resulted in wilting caused by eavitation of the tensile sap ...

Environmental impact of seawater desalination plants
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1991Enormous amounts of seawater are desalted everyday worldwide. The total world production of fresh water from the sea is about 2621 mgd (9.92 million m(3) day(-1) 1985 figures). Desalting processes are normally associated with the rejection of high concentration waste brine from the plant itself or from the pretreatment units as well as during the ...
