With an ever-increasing demand in energy, constrained by strict environmental regulations,
process development faces stringent design requirements further limited by intrinsic …

The renewable-energy-based water-energy nexus is a promising approach that contributes
to climate change mitigation. Increasing concerns on GHG emission and energy demand …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient
energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity …

When two streams of different salinities are mixed, Gibbs free energy of mixing is released.
This energy can be harvested and further converted to electric energy through pressure …

Multistage membrane distillation (MD) systems can have significantly higher efficiencies
than their single stage counterparts. However, multistage MD system design has received …

An excessive amount of renewable energy could be possibly produced when solutions of
dissimilar salinities are combined simultaneously in a semipermeable membrane. The …

An economic desalination system with a small scale and footprint for remote areas, which
have a limited and inadequate water supply, insufficient water treatment and low …

Removing nitrogen from wastewater by conventional treatment methods requires substantial
energy, only to release it back to the atmosphere as gaseous nitrogen. Herein, we …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an attractive separation process that can work with heat
sources with low temperature differences and is less sensitive to concentration polarization …

Global energy consumption has been highly dependent on fossil fuels which cause severe
climate change and, therefore, the exploration of new technologies to produce effective …
