A new targeting method for combined heat, power and desalinated water production in total site

The capacitive deionization behaviour of a carbon nanotube and reduced graphene oxide composite

“…Currently, the most widely used processes for desalination include membrane separation systems: reverse osmosis (RO) 9 and electrodialysis (ED), 10 and thermal separations including: multistage ash distillation (MSF), multieffect distillation (MED) and mechanical vapour compression (MVC). [11][12][13] Among these processes, RO and MSF methods are employed in the bulk of the plants (90%) to desalinate seawater worldwide. However these technologies have their own disadvantages: for instance, both the RO and thermal procedure are energy intense, ion exchange processes that produce secondary chemical wastes.…”

Scalable Approach to Highly Efficient and Rapid Capacitive Deionization with CNT-Thread As Electrodes

“…Conventional techniques for desalination include membrane-based techniques such as reverse osmosis (RO), electrodialysis (ED) , and thermal separations methods (TSM) , that are predominantly based on separating bulk water from dissolved salts. Considering that ∼97% (v/v) of any feedstock consists of pure water, capacitive deionization offers an alternative by removing ions from water feedstock. − The viability of this technique demands electrode materials that are highly efficient and rapid in deionization, are biocompatible, recyclable and scalable, with low energy consumption.…”

“…Therefore, a singular material that can work for removing multiple ions is preferred. 5,6 Conventional techniques for desalination include membranebased techniques such as reverse osmosis (RO), 7 electrodialysis (ED) 8,9 and thermal separations methods (TSM) 10,11 that are predominantly based on separating bulk water from dissolved salts. Considering that ∼97% (v/v) of any feedstock consists of pure water, capacitive deionization offers an alternative by removing ions from water feedstock.…”
