Energy consumption in desalinating produced water from shale oil and gas extraction
TL;DR: In this article, Pitzer's equations were used to compare the energy properties of several desalination technologies at high salinities and diverse compositions commonly encountered in produced water from shale formations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric Water Harvesting: A Review of Material and Structural Designs
TL;DR: In this article, atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) emerges as a promising means to overcome the water scarcity of arid regions, especially for inland areas lacking liquid water sources, and is proposed as an alternative to conventional water harvesting.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of process systems engineering approaches for process intensification: State of the art
TL;DR: An overview of the development of various process intensification technologies, specifically those under the categories of separation, reaction, hybrid reaction/separation, and alternative energy sources are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy for desalination: A state-of-the-art review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively review the energy requirements and potential research areas for reduced specific energy consumption (SEC) of various thermal, membrane-based and emerging desalination technologies.

Direct solar steam generation system for clean water production
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive summary of the recent development of direct solar steam generation (DSSG) system for clean water production, in which solar thermal conversion materials (STCM) can strongly transform absorbed solar light into thermal energy, tremendously speeding the evaporation of water under sunlight irradiation.
