چکیده
The overarching goal of this research project is to develop technologies for beneficial salinity management. Specifically, the project focuses on the energy and resources recovery from reverse osmosis (RO) desalination concentration, which can reduce the cost associated with desalination operation and minimize the environmental impact associated with the disposal of desalination concentrate. The project has been carried out in two phases. The first phase of the study emphasized on harvesting salinity energy from concentrate using an electrochemical capacitor system. The second phase investigated the resource recovery, specifically, phosphorus from RO concentration.
