Comparison of energy efficiency and power density in pressure retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis.
Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) are emerging membrane-based technologies that can convert chemical energy in salinity gradients to useful work. The two processes have intrinsically different working principles: controlled mixing in PRO is achieved by water permeation across salt-rejecting membranes, whereas RED is driven by ion flux across charged membranes. Th...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimization of Full Scale Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant
This paper focuses on steady state performance predictions and optimization of the Reverse Osmosis (RO) process utilizing a set of implicit mathematical equations which are generated by combining solution-diffusion model with film theory approach. The simulation results were compared with operational data which are in good agreement having relative errors of 0.71% and 1.02%, in terms of water r...
متن کاملThermodynamic and energy efficiency analysis of power generation from natural salinity gradients by pressure retarded osmosis.
The Gibbs free energy of mixing dissipated when fresh river water flows into the sea can be harnessed for sustainable power generation. Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is one of the methods proposed to generate power from natural salinity gradients. In this study, we carry out a thermodynamic and energy efficiency analysis of PRO work extraction. First, we present a reversible thermodynamic mod...
متن کاملNovel Membrane Materials for Reverse Osmosis Desalination
The use of solvents in desalination processes limits the use of certain materials in the construction of the reverse osmosis membranes.
