Pressure retarded osmosis: Advancement, challenges and potential
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
An excessive amount of renewable energy could be possibly produced when solutions of dissimilar salinities are combined simultaneously in a semipermeable membrane. The aforestated energy harnessing for transformation into ...
Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
Progress in membranes for pressure retarded osmosis application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Other)
The ever-growing global energy crisis has been pushing industries to lean towards renewable resources as an alternative for power generation. Recent research is focusing mainly towards achieving water sustainability and ...
An overview on the progress in produced water desalination by membrane-based technology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Other)
The scarcity of clean water sources has become a global concern in the present-day society. This has driven to the extraction of fresh water from produced water (PW), from the oil and gas fields, specifically in countries ...
Sustainable Preparation of Graphene Quantum Dots for Metal Ion Sensing Application
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Highlights: What are the main finding? Preparation of GQDs from ethanolic extract of eucalyptus tree leaves. Hydrothermal treatment of extract at different temperatures and times was carried out. What is the implication ...
Recent advances in the application of carbon nitrides for advanced water treatment and desalination technology
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Carbon nitride (CN) and its different derivatives have received increased research consideration in current materials science because of its extensive range of potential applications in environmental protection. At present, ...
An overview of water desalination systems integrated with renewable energy sources
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Nowadays, the growing world population, climate change, pollution, rising consumer demand, and resource exploitation have contributed to a freshwater shortage. Hence, water desalination is heavily used for freshwater ...
Desalination in the GCC countries- a review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are located in one of the most arid regions in the world with very less freshwater resources, and hence depending on desalination plants to tackle the water scarcity and satisfy ...
Improved Forward Osmosis Performance of Thin Film Composite Membranes with Graphene Quantum Dots Derived from Eucalyptus Tree Leaves
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The major challenges in forward osmosis (FO) are low water flux, high specific reverse solute flux (SRSF), and membrane fouling. The present work addresses these problems by the incorporation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) ...
Graphene Quantum Dot-Added Thin-Film Composite Membrane with Advanced Nanofibrous Support for Forward Osmosis
(
MDPI
