We present an effective numerical approach to simulate electrochemically mediated desalination of seawater. This new membraneless, energy efficient desalination method relies on the oxidation of chloride ions, which generates an ion depletion zone and local electric field gradient near the junction of a microchannel branch to redirect sea salt into the brine stream, consequently producing desal...

remotely sensed imagery is proving to be a useful tool to estimate water depths in coastalzones. bathymetric algorithms attempt to isolate water attenuation and hence depth from other factors byusing different combinations of spectral bands. in this research, images of absolute bathymetry using twodifferent but related methods in a region in the southern caspian sea coasts has been produced. th...

in this research, the correlation between precipitation change in southern coasts of caspian sea and variability of sea level pressure have been analyzed by using environmental to circulation approach at time period 1339- 1383. in this respect, we make use of daily precipitation data of the 12 synoptic stations of studied area at surface data base section and prepare the time series matrix of p...

all desalination methods which are currently used have limitations. a newly designed instrument by zare a.m. was tested and compared with currently used method in razi vaccine and serum research institute(rvsri). samples of anti snake venom for desalination was provided by department of anti-serum, rvsri. parameters included in this study were time and water consumption during desalination proc...

in this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. to improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (dcpd) and methyl styrene (mst). plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. the i...

This review provides a global overview of microporous silica based membranes for desalination via pervaporation with a focus on membrane synthesis and processing, transport mechanisms and current state of the art membrane performance. Most importantly, the recent development and novel concepts for improving the hydro-stability and separating performance of silica membranes for desalination are ...

due to the location of a domestic, industrial and agricultural zone near the caspian sea, this water body has long been under pressure and environmental threat. as a result of development of oil production activities in caspian region, such as oil exploration and extraction, a large volume of oil related pollutants is released annually into this important water body. considering the fact that h...

The scarcity of fresh water is a global challenge faced at present. Several desalination methods have been suggested to secure fresh water from sea water. However, conventional methods suffer from technical limitations, such as high power consumption, expensive operating costs, and limited system durability. In this study, we examined the feasibility of using halophytes as a novel technology of...
