Room-temperature development of thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes from cellulose acetate with antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
A cellulose acetate thin film composite (CA TFC) membrane was developed by direct casting of CA onto an ultrafiltration membrane support. The flux through the CA TFC membrane was, as expected, inversely proportional to the ...
Enhanced boron removal by electricity generation in a microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Boron needs to be removed during desalination, because excessive boron in the product water for irrigation can deteriorate plant growth. In this study, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) equipped with anion exchange membrane (AEM) ...
CFD modeling and analysis of the behavior of 30° and 45° inclined dense jets - new numerical insights
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
A three-dimensional numerical model of inclined turbulent jets with negatively buoyant discharge into stationary ambient water is presented in this paper to study certain jet parameters with turbulence schemes that have ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Synoptic analysis of direct contact membrane distillation performance in Qatar: A case study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this study is to evaluate a bench scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance using flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane at different inlet flow rates, temperatures, and salinity ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ...
Synthesis and characterization of stable anion exchange membranes for desalination applications
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This research reports the synthesis of stable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and triethylamine (TEA) for desalination applications. The successful synthesis ...
