The utilization of seawater for drinking purposes is limited by the high specific energy
consumption (SEC)(kW-h/m 3) of present desalination technologies; both thermal and …

High specific energy consumption (SEC) is the main barrier for the expansion of seawater
reverse osmosis (SWRO). Therefore, the main objective of current SWRO research is to …

Growing water demands have led to rapidly increasing desalination installation capacity
worldwide. In an attempt to lower carbon footprint resulting from high-energy consuming …

Further reduction in energy consumption is an attractive prospect for both well-established
technologies such as reverse osmosis and electrodialysis, and for emerging desalination …

This review paper explores the potential for seawater desalination plants to operate as
integrated hubs for addressing the increasing demand for water, energy, mineral resources …

Seawater is receiving consideration as an infinite water source in the current era of water
shortage. The application of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) to prepare seawater for …

Salinity gradient energy is currently attracting growing attention among the scientific
community as a renewable energy source. In particular, Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) is …

In this review, the application of membrane-based technology in water social circulation was
summarized. Water social circulation encompassed the entire process from the acquirement …

In order to address freshwater scarcity, seawater desalination technologies have been
widely studied in recent years. However, the disposal of desalination brine which contains …
