Brine, also known as concentrate, is the by-product of the desalination process that has an
adverse impact on the environment due to its high salinity. Hence, viable and cost-effective …

Mineral scaling is one of the primary factors that constrain the performance of membrane
desalination. However, compared to numerous studies on organic and biological fouling …

Reverse osmosis (RO) is nowadays considered to be the most dominant desalination
technology. Nonetheless, due to osmotic pressure constraints, conventional RO cannot …

Water scarcity is one of the major issues that has put economic growth, societal stability, and
ecosystem balance unstable. Wastewater reuse has been recognised as a viable method for …

Despite the impressive progress in forward osmosis (FO) membranes and pilot scale testing
of FO process, lack of draw solutes that can be efficiently regenerated is still a limiting factor …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most relevant potential environmental liabilities of
mining activities. They are formed when the excavated ore is exposed to rain and other …

Forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) hybrids were recently found suitable for
produced water treatment. Exclusion of synthetic chemical draw solutions, typically used for …

Fouling development in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) for seawater
desalination was evaluated combining in-situ monitoring performed using optical coherence …

This study investigated the sustainable reuse of wastewater using fertilizer drawn forward
osmosis (FDFO) process through osmotic dilution of commercial nutrient solution for …

Reverse osmosis (RO) is poised to be the primary membrane-based water desalination
technology as the need for potable water increases. Current and prior research focuses on …
