Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of calcium carbonate scale deposition on four RO membranes under a seawater desalination condition.
TL;DR: It is implied that membrane surface characteristics such as roughness and surface charge affected inorganic fouling, presumably by providing favourable sites for precipitation and enhancing attraction of species to the membrane surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamic analysis of a stand-alone reverse osmosis desalination system powered by pressure retarded osmosis
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is developed to assess the feasibility of a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination system powered by a stand-alone salinity driven pressure retarded Osmosis technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current and Emerging Techniques for High-Pressure Membrane Integrity Testing
TL;DR: This review provides a critical evaluation of the current methods of integrity monitoring and identifies novel approaches that have the potential to provide accurate, representative virus removal efficiency estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane capacitive deionization for low-salinity desalination in the reclamation of domestic wastewater effluents.
TL;DR: The results revealed that MCDI can effectively remove undesired ions such as calcium and nitrate from the DWTP effluent for water reclamation, and the energy efficiency of this system is expected to be further improved by energy recovery or incorporation of energy-producing processes.

Highly effective and reusable sulfonated pentablock copolymer nanocomposites for water purification applications
Simona Filice,D. D’Angelo,Adriana Scarangella,Daniela Iannazzo,Giuseppe Compagnini,Silvia Scalese +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sulfonated pentablock copolymer (s-PBC) was used for water purification applications, where Titania particles and graphene oxide (GO) were dispersed in the polymeric matrix and nanocomposite membranes were prepared by drop casting.
