Sustainable Desalination of Fresh Water

Stover R.L., Energy Recovery Inc, US

Seawater reverse osmosis is an advanced desalination process used to filter water in which seawater is forced through a semi-permeable membrane, producing pure water on one side and concentrated brine on the other. The process, [...]

Nanofiltration of Electrolyte Solutions by Sub-2nm Carbon Nanotube Membranes

Fornasiero F., Park H.G., Holt J.K., Stadermann M., Kim S., In J.B., Grigoropoulos C.P., Noy A., Bakajin O., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

Both MD simulations and experimental studies have shown that liquid and gas flow through carbon nanotubes with nanometer size diameter is exceptionally fast. For applications in separation technology, selectivity is required together with fast flow. [...]
