Combining two solutions of different composition releases the Gibbs free energy of mixing.
By using engineered processes to control the mixing, chemical energy stored in salinity …

With an ever-increasing demand in energy, constrained by strict environmental regulations,
process development faces stringent design requirements further limited by intrinsic …

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 …

Herein, we introduce a novel membrane-based process for lithium recovery and compare it
to the conventional solar evaporation followed by chemical precipitation process …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient
energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity …

Freshwater and electricity cogeneration systems, using renewable energy sources, can play
a crucial role at the water-energy nexus. By placing a hydrophobic, porous membrane …

This paper presents assessment of natural and anthropogenic sources of blue energy within
Swedish territory to identify suitable spots for implementing new projects. The natural energy …

An alternative hybrid membrane-based electricity generation system that operates as a heat
engine is presented to convert low-grade heat into electricity. This system consists of …

Abstract Development and selection of membranes for membrane distillation (MD) could be
accelerated if all performance-determining characteristics of the membrane could be …

Salinity gradient heat engines represent an innovative and promising way to convert low-
grade heat into electricity by employing salinity gradient technology in a closed-loop …
