Effects of Membrane Surface Modification on Calcium Carbonate Fouling and Membrane Efficiency for Desalination
Figure 1: Experimental approach. Graft PEG to membrane surface to help reduce fouling of hydrophobic solutes [3]. Desalination can be used as a means to replenish freshwater supplies of communities with growing population needs. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a pressure-driven process that requires a semi-permeable membrane to selectively remove salts and other particulate matter from brackish water o...
متن کاملElectrochemically mediated seawater desalination.
With global demand rising faster than availability, fresh water is quickly becoming a limited resource. In fact, the United Nations estimates one third of the world s population is living in water-stressed regions, and by 2025 this number is expected to double. Seawater desalination is an attractive solution to this problem because seawater accounts for more than 97% of the world s water supply...
متن کاملSurface hydrophilic modification of RO membranes by plasma polymerization for low organic fouling
Trimethylene glycol dimethyl ether (triglyme), a Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-like hydrophilic polymer, was deposited by plasma polymerization to reduce RO membrane’s organic fouling tendency. This method has the great advantage of achieving modification in one single step. A series of plasma deposition experiments were undertaken. The successful coating of the polymer was confirmed by X-ray photo...
متن کاملHigh - efficiency seawater desalination via NF / RO multi - pass arrays
In recent years, capital and operating costs of seawater desalination plants have decreased remarkably. However, production of potable water from seawater by reverse osmosis membrane desalination remains 2 to 3 times the cost of desalting brackish water, reclaiming wastewater, or importing fresh water even over long distances. In addition, rejection of boron by seawater RO membranes is generall...
متن کاملFabrication and Charge Modification of Ceramic Membranes Using Copper Nanoparticles for Desalination
Ceramic membranes are considered as alternatives for their polymeric counterparts due to highmechanical strength and thermal resistance; thus long lifetime. Usually, asymmetric ceramicmembranes are synthesized including several layers with different pore size distributionswith the top-layer playing the main separation role. Titania has several properties such asphotocatalytic activity and chemi...
