Submerged vacuum membrane distillation is an alternative to conventional membrane distillation configurations which offers lower energy consumption and higher thermal efficiency. The feasibility of a submerged vacuum membrane distillation system for inland desalination was investigated. Relatively sim

In this paper, we focused our work on the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) capability to treat hypersaline solution. The governing operative model for mass transfer was investigated. The measured flux has been well predicted by the Knudsen-molecular mechanism model. The effects on the DCMD

In vacuum salt production sulfate is an important impurity, but it is also used to remove other cationic impurities from the raw brine. Removal of excess sulfate is currently done by purging salt crystallizer mother liquor from the brine plant, or crystallizing sodium sulfate through evaporative or

In this work, the interaction, crystallization and morphology of membranes derived from polyamides/poly (vinylalcohol) (PA/PVA, PA: PA66, PA69, PA610 and PA612) blend materials are studied at various weight fractions and various crystallization temperatures. The experimental work includes differenti

2 2 Nanofiltration of saturated calcium sulfate solution of 0.02 mol/L calcium content, with CO3 !/SO4 ! molar ratio !3 !4 2 ranging from 0.0500 to 2.8×10 was carried out in 6.5×10 m active membrane area laboratory module at 1.2×106 Pa transmembrane pressure using the total retentate recycle mode. P

The influence of process conditions such as feed rate, calcium/carbonate ratio, pH, complexing agents [ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citrate (CIT)] and their concentration on the average particle size and shape of precipitated calcium carbonate was studied. The precipitation was performed

This paper reviews three ways in which existing brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination plants can be modified to increase overall water recovery from the 70–75% range to the 90–95% range. The three techniques used to increase plant recovery are: (i) seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) for wa
