Water scarcity is a grand challenge that has always stimulated research interests in finding
effective means for pure water production. In this context, reverse osmosis (RO) is …

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology is one of the most important technologies for
water treatment. However, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Membrane fouling leads …

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 …

The increasing occurrence of harmful algae blooms globally poses significant challenges to
water management. In water treatment utilities, coagulation is the first treatment process of …

Seawater desalination using reverse osmosis (RO) process has increased substantially in
the recent past and is expected to grow at an increasingly rapid pace in the future …

Access to clean water resource continues to be the most urgent and pressing global issue
where hiking economic and ecological needs have urged for more water-efficient …

Pretreatment of raw feed water is an essential step for proper functioning of a reverse
osmosis (RO) desalination plant as it minimizes the risk of membrane fouling. Conventional …

An efficient pretreatment system forms the backbone of a sea water desalination unit using
reverse osmosis process. The pretreatment of sea water is done to bring down the turbidity …

Desalination is an energy intensive process requiring adequate pre-and post-treatment. The
novelty of this paper is that it jointly reviews the technologies for pre-treatment, desalination …

Algal blooms can seriously affect the operation of water treatment processes including low
pressure (micro-and ultra-filtration) and high pressure (nanofiltration and reverse osmosis) …
