Monovalent and divalent ion sorption in a cation exchange membrane based on cross-linked poly (p-styrene sulfonate-co-divinylbenzene)
TL;DR: In this paper, MgCl2 and CaCl2 sorption in a commercial cross-linked, styrene-divinylbenzene cation exchange membrane (CEM) with fixed sulfonate groups was measured and compared with NaCl, LiCl and KCl in the same material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomistic Understanding of Zeolite Nanosheets for Water Desalination
TL;DR: In this article, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to systematically study zeolites as RO membranes and establish fundamental structure-performance relationships, showing that zeolite nanosheets can achieve a high salt rejection rate close to 100% while allowing nearly 2 orders of magnitude higher water permeability than currently available membranes.

Kinetics and energetics trade-off in reverse osmosis desalination with different configurations
Shihong Lin,Menachem Elimelech +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the average water flux and the specific energy consumption (SEC) was quantified using analytical expressions to quantify the energy consumption of single stage, two stage, and closed circuit reverse osmosis (RO) processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acyl-chloride quenching following interfacial polymerization to modulate the water permeability, selectivity, and surface charge of desalination membranes
TL;DR: In this article, the quenching of residual acyl-chloride groups in nascent polyamide films is performed using amine, ammonia, and alcohol solutions, including common alcohol solvents such as methanol and ethanol.
