Membrane distillation (MD) has great potential in the management of hypersaline water for
zero liquid discharge (ZLD) due to its high salinity tolerance. However, the membrane …

The development of ion-exchange membrane (IEM) technologies is critical to achieving
global sustainable development goals in the sectors of water desalination, energy storage …

The management of hypersaline brine is a critical challenge to achieving a circular water
economy. Traditional brine treatment technologies mainly rely on thermal evaporation …

Nanofiltration (NF) has the potential to achieve precise ion–ion separation at the
subnanometer scale, which is necessary for resource recovery and a circular water …

This perspective attempts to critically assess the latest developments in membrane-based
brine concentration (MBC), crystallization (MBCr), and valorization (MBV), which are …

This study assesses the potential of electrodialysis (ED), traditionally applied to
demineralize brackish waters, for the emergent challenge of hypersaline desalination. The …

Electrochemical technologies for water treatment, resource recovery, energy generation,
and energy storage rely on charged polymer membranes to selectively transport ions. With …

Rapid water permeability and precise solute–solute separation are both important for high-
end nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Yet, current NF membranes suffer from high energy …

Solar water evaporation (SWE) has emerged as an appealing method for water and salt
recovery from hypersaline wastewater. However, different ions usually transfer and …

Surface effects of low-surface-tension contaminants accumulating at the evaporation surface
easily induce wetting in membrane distillation, especially in hypersaline scenarios. Herein …
