Salinity gradient power (SGP) is based on the chemical potential difference between concentrated and dilute salt solutions. Reverse electrodialysis (RED) can thus be used to produce electricity by a SGP–RED unit. In principle, a highly concentrated solution can be recovered from a seawater desalinat

Permeate flux decline is a major item when considering pressure driven membrane filtration. The decline is a result of the deposition of (dispersed) feed materials as a layer on the membrane surface. This means loss of production of permeate or, when applying a higher compensating pressure, loss of

For long-term space missions, the algae Arthrospira platensis (previously Spirulina platensis) can be used as a food component. A. platensis can be cultured in a Zarrouk medium (further called “medium”) which contains several salts. As a result, the cultured cells have to be washed to make them edib
