Agricultural potential of reject brine from water desalination

Processing of Desalination Reject Brine for Optimization of Process Efficiency, Cost Effectiveness and Environmental Safety

Water strategies and potential of desalination in Jordan

Jordan is considered one of the countries in the world with the scarcest of water resources. This has led to deterioration of the groundwater quality and an increase in the salinity levels. The dominant environmental challenge expanding population. Rainfall is confined largely to the winter season and ranges from around 660 mm in the north-west of the country to less than 130 mm in the extreme ...

Energy Utilization of Brine from an Msf Desalination Plant by Pressure Retarded Osmosis

Seawater desalination plants discharge brine which is at higher salt concentration than the supplied seawater feed. Diluting this brine by mixing it with the lower concentration feed (seawater) will reduce the environmental hazards associated with the high salt concentration of the disposed brine. Energy can be generated from the dilution process in which two streams of different salt concentra...

Desalination and Water Treatment

Electrochemical characteristic parameters such as diffusional permeability, ion transport number, fi xed charge concentration and electrical resistance for a regenerated cellulose/polypropylene-supported membrane (RC/PP sample) in contact with NaCl solutions at different concentrations were determined. The effect of the polypropylene support on mass and charge transport was estimated by compari...

Rapid field assessment of RO desalination of brackish agricultural drainage water.

Rapid field evaluation of RO feed filtration requirements, selection of effective antiscalant type and dose, and estimation of suitable scale-free RO recovery level were demonstrated using a novel approach based on direct observation of mineral scaling and flux decline measurements, utilizing an automated Membrane Monitor (MeMo). The MeMo, operated in a stand-alone single-pass desalting mode, e...
