Bio-inspired Solar Desalination with Zero Liquid Discharge

Finnerty C., Mi B., University of California-Berkeley, US
As traditional water resources become strained and demand continues to soar, desalination is being considered as a viable option to augment existing water supplies. Although advances in membrane technology have dramatically reduce the energy consumption [...]

Magna Imperio Systems: Innovating Solutions Through Technology

Page G., Magna Imperio Systems, US
Fresh, potable water is a sacred, yet scarce, resource that brings life to the world. The successful foundation of every community is reliant on the crucial interconnected relationship between water, food, and energy known as [...]

Super-porous PVDF nanofibre membranes for efficient desalination of brackish water in membrane distillation applications

Mhlanga S.D., Nthunya L.N., Khumalo N.P., Verliefde A.R., University of South Africa, ZA
Water scarcity is becoming a serious problem in Southern Africa. Recent draughts have called for exploitation of alternative sources of drinking water such as brackish and seawater. Membrane distillation is an efficient desalination process that [...]

Exploring the Effects of Highly Conductive Carbon Fibers on Evaporation and Desalination Rates of Salt Water

Tanzim F.S., Rahman M.M., Asmatulu R., Wichita State University, US
Water scarcity is a growing problem for large regions of the world because of the insufficient sources of fresh water to meet the demands. It is estimated that 2.8 billion people around the world have [...]

Electrocapacitive Desalination of Brackish Water Using Biochars

Vander Wal R., Sengupta A., Rajagopalan R., Penn State University, US
The principle of capacitive deionization (CDI) has been known for some time, as a spin-off of electrochemical capacitance. Instead of storing energy, the purpose of CDI is to store (temporarily) salt, extracted from the water. [...]

Ionic Diodes in Water Desalination & Purification

Marken F., Madrid E., Aaronson B.D.B., McKeown N.B., University of Bath, UK
Ionic rectifiers (or ionic diodes) work like electronic diodes, but allow ion flow to be controlled. We have developed novel ionic diode devices based on ionomer and polymer materials coated onto microholes to typically 5 [...]

An integral approach for water treatment and the use of water-energy interdependency network

Lin Y., Zhou Z., Pan S-Y, Snyder S., Argonne National Laboratory, US
Freshwater stress and scarcity is one of the most challenging emerging issues due to climate change, rapid population growth, urbanization, and improved standards of living. Desalination of seawater or impaired water, such as brackish water [...]

Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination

Glushenkov M., Bhosale R., Kumar A., AlMomani F., Kronberg A., Qatar University, QA
Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most widely employed technologies for water desalination. A drawback of this technology is high consumption of electricity by electric motors used for high-pressure water pumping. Energy consumption can [...]

Carbon Nanotube Immobilized Membranes for Next Generation Desalination

Roy S., Bhadra M., Mitra S., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US
The objective of this project is to utilize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to create breakthrough membrane properties for the generation of pure water via membrane distillation (MD). This fundamentally new approach will reduce the cost and [...]

2-butoxyethanol as a Draw Solution for Forward Osmotic Application

Sano K., Ide T., Imada T., Toshiba Corporation, JP
As a draw solution, 2-butoxyethanol (2BE) was examined for forward osmotic application such as power generation and desalination. As forward osmosis experiments, simple hand made cell with a membrane of 5mm in diameter. Under stirring [...]
