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 …

Desalination activities around the world are increasing as a result of water scarcity. The
discharge of brine from desalination processes poses a significant threat to the environment …

The ever-growing global energy crisis has been pushing industries to lean towards
renewable resources as an alternative for power generation. Recent research is focusing …

Membrane-based water treatment processes have been established as a powerful
approach for clean water production. However, despite the significant advances made in …

Since the early 2000s, pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has been continuously
investigated, based on its potential to harvest energy from a salinity gradient. However …

In this work, carboxylic polyethersulfone (CPES) was synthesized through acetylation and
oxidation of polyethersulfone (PES). The success rate of the reaction and the formation of …

An excessive amount of renewable energy could be possibly produced when solutions of
dissimilar salinities are combined simultaneously in a semipermeable membrane. The …

Background The commercialization of thin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber (HF)
membranes remains challenging owing to issues associated with membrane manufacturing …

One of the most critical issues encountered in membrane-based separation processes is
permeate flux decline in a system operating for a long period. The particles in the feed …

The need to generate sustainable energy from renewable sources has driven the
emergence of processes that use the sea as a supply source. Osmotic energy, in particular …
