Optimization of magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for high water flux in forward osmosis
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, bare iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and used as a draw solute in forward osmosis. The synthesis conditions of the nanoparticles were optimized using the Box-Behnken ...
The emergence of multifunctional adsorbents and their role in environmental remediation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution is a growing issue which requires various treatment technologies for efficient and effective remediation. Adsorption is one of the dominant wastewater treatment technologies due to its flexible operation ...
Influence of graphite feedstock on the characteristics of silver-decorated graphene oxide and antimicrobial property
(
Chulalognkorn University
, 2021 , Article)
Graphite from different sources has significant influence on the properties of graphene oxide (GO) and reactivity of GO towards further modification with other nanoparticles. However, such effect has not yet been properly ...
Design and thermo-economic evaluation of an integrated concentrated solar power – Desalination tri-generation system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can ...
A universal transportation model for reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This paper presents a new transport model for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, which combines irreversible thermodynamics, together with solution-diffusion theory. The simplifications adopted by the classical theory for ...
Cascaded design of desalination systems: A graphical approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
A graphical technique to design staged desalination systems is introduced in this work by utilizing the concept of composite curves. Material recycle networks (MRNs), which are very popular graphical tools, also rely on ...
Optimizing network pathways of CO2 conversion processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has gained great attraction as an alternative route of producing carbon-based chemicals, which also mitigates atmospheric CO2. This paper develops a numerical optimization model that ...
Evaluation of cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membrane for volume reduction of real industrial effluents through an osmotic concentration process: A pilot-scale study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The current article tackles the challenge of reducing wastewater volumes generated from the gas industry. A forward osmosis (FO) pilot unit, deployed as osmotic concentration (OC) process without the draw solution (DS) ...
