In water treatment, silica is a problem because of its tendency to form deposits. It is often necessary to include reducing silica concentration to permit increased cycles of concentration without scale. The behavior of aqueous silica and the various water treatment processes used for its removal we

Three commercial membranes (NF70, NF90 and TFC-SR) were firstly characterized in terms of pure water flux and the: rejection of uncharged (alcohols and sugars) compounds. Subsequently, the rejection of monovalent (sodium and chloride) and divalent (calcium and sulphate) ions in single (NaC1, CaC12an

Mineral scaling prediction in industrial processes involving high salinity solutions at high temperatures remains notoriously intricate, due particularly to difficulties incurred by modelling the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviour of the mineral deposits in such systems. In addition to these comple

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are a relatively new class of membranes which have properties in between those ofultrafiltration (UF) membranes and reverse-osmosis (RO) ones. Their separation mechanisms involve both steric (sieving) effects and electrical (Donnan) effects. The significance of this mem

Concentration and/or space-dependent diffusional mass transport through a dense membrane were investigated. A quasi-analytical approach is given in order to calculate the concentration distribution in the membrane and the mass transfer rates in the case of a single component as well as of binary com

One of the major problems associated with membrane separation processes, which restricts the widespread application of this process in the industry is the decline in flux. This occurs due to the build up of the solute concentration near the membrane surface, which is defined as concentration polaris

This paper describes a novel system of solar assisted heat pump desalination. A single effect desalination unit has been designed and fabricated, and it is connected to an existing solar assisted heat pump. The system consists of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, solar evaporator-collector, desal
