Desalination technologies using salt-rejecting membranes are a highly efficient tool to
provide fresh water and augment existing water supplies. In recent years, numerous studies …

In the face of growing water scarcity, it is critical to understand the potential of saltwater
desalination as a long-term water supply option. Recent studies have highlighted the …

Pressure-driven membrane desalination (PMD), such as reverse osmosis or nanofiltration, is
an energy-efficient technology that addresses water shortages by using saline waters to …

Although thermal desalination technology provides potable water in arid regions (eg, Israel
and the Gulf), its relatively high cost has limited application to less arid regions with large …

The rising demand for clean water and the environmental challenges associated with fossil
fuels have encouraged the application of renewable and greener energy systems in …

While water is a key resource required to sustain life, freshwater sources and aquifers are
being depleted at an alarming rate. As a mitigation strategy, saline water desalination is …

Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most successful membrane technologies for
desalination and contaminant removal from water. RO is applied globally, and can be used …

Climate change, population growth, and increased industrial activities are exacerbating
freshwater scarcity and leading to increased interest in desalination of saline water. Brackish …

Desalination membranes are essential for the treatment of unconventional water sources,
such as seawater and wastewater, to alleviate water scarcity. Promising research efforts on …

Given increasing regional water scarcity and that almost half of the world's population lives
within 100 km of an ocean, seawater represents a virtually infinite water resource. However …
