Desalination of Impure Water

International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science, 2016
Solar desalination is a process where solar energy is used to distill fresh water from saline, brackish water for drinking purposes, charging of the batteries and medical appliances, etc. In recent years desalination of water has been one of the most important technological work undertaken in many countries. Many areas in Middle East and elsewhere have

Evaluating suitability of source water for a proposed SWRO plant location

Heliyon, 2019
SWRO membranes are characterized by their ability to reject particles of larger than 0.001 μm diameter and approximately 200 molecular weight. This indicates the selectiveness of the SWRO membranes and the relative ease by which they can be clogged or ...

Parametric Analysis of a Universal Isotherm Model to Tailor Characteristics of Solid Desiccants for Dehumidification

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Cooling has a significant share in energy consumption, especially in hot tropical regions. The conventional mechanical vapor compression (MVC) cycle, widely used for air-conditioning needs, has high energy consumption as air is cooled down to a dew point

A Porous Interfacial Photothermal Layer of Fused Core–Shell Carbon‐Polymer Nanospheres for Directional Salt Crystallization and Zero‐Liquid‐Discharge

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchical hydrogel evaporator with a thin, porous photothermal layer of fused core–shell carbon‐polymer nanospheres enables ultrafast interfacial solar evaporation with minimized heat loss and sufficient water supply. Directional advection‐dominated brine transport, coupled with Marangoni‐driven interfacial flow, drives salt away from the active ...
