“…We begin the review by introducing these established electrochemical transformation methods and the broad range of applications for which they are used (section ). We then build on the existing literature and related reviews ,,,,,,− by emphasizing the principles and applications of emerging electrochemical methods for desalination, water purification, and ion separations (sections and ). As shown in Figure , several of these emerging methods have developed only in the last 10 years and have been reviewed either briefly or independently of other methods.…”

Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water pollution is exacerbated by the decreasing ability of traditional treatment methods to comply with tightening environmental standards. This review provides a comprehensive description of the principles and applications of electrochemical methods for water purification, ion separations, and energy conversion. Electrochemical methods have attractive features such as compact size, chemical selectivity, broad applicability, and reduced generation of secondary waste. Perhaps the greatest advantage of electrochemical methods, however, is that they remove contaminants directly from the water, while other technologies extract the water from the contaminants, which enables efficient removal of trace pollutants. The review begins with an overview of conventional electrochemical methods, which drive chemical or physical transformations via Faradaic reactions at electrodes, and proceeds to a detailed examination of the two primary mechanisms by which contaminants are separated in nondestructive electrochemical processes, namely electrokinetics and electrosorption. In these sections, special attention is given to emerging methods, such as shock electrodialysis and Faradaic electrosorption. Given the importance of generating clean, renewable energy, which may sometimes be combined with water purification, the review also discusses inverse methods of electrochemical energy conversion based on reverse electrosorption, electrowetting, and electrokinetic phenomena. The review concludes with a discussion of technology comparisons, remaining challenges, and potential innovations for the field such as process intensification and technoeconomic optimization.

“…When textile microplastics are carried by air, they usually accumulate in household and office dust and support the development of allergies, asthma, and many respiratory problems. When released during washing, textile microplastics accumulate in rivers, lakes, dams, seas, wastewater treatment plants, and drinking water [9,10]. Almost a third of microplastics are released during the washing of garments.…”

More than a third of microplastics in surface waters are formed by microplastics released from textile products containing textile fibers (fibrous microplastics). A large amount of fibrous microplastics enters the environment during textile production and the first few washing cycles. Mechanical, thermal, chemical, and biological damage to textiles causes the generation of fibrous microplastics. Textile manufacturers, dyers and finishers, garment producers, distributors, or consumers contribute to this process. During the construction of textiles, multiple issues need to be addressed simultaneously. They are related to the optimization of technological processes and the construction and functionalization of fiber structures, considering ecological requirements, including suppressing the formation of fibrous microplastics. This research is focused on the specification of reasons for the generation of fibrous microplastics during textile production. The influence of the structure of fibers, abrasive deformations, and surface structure of fabrics on the generation of fibrous microplastics is discussed. The release of fibrous microplastics during washing is mentioned as well.

“…Ion exchange systems are used to effectively remove dissolved ions from water. Therefore, it is not surprising that ion-exchange technologies occupy the main share in water purification at currently operating power plants and thermal installations not only in Russia, but also in European countries [5].…”

The paper proposes a developed software application for automating the calculation of the technical characteristics of continuous ionites units with a fluidized ionite bed used in the water treatment system of the energy complex. The program is designed to calculate the structural and hydraulic parameters of an ion-exchange parallel-point filter used in water softening and demineralization schemes at water treatment facilities of heat power facilities. The necessary initial data, formulas are given, on the basis of which the algorithm is compiled, logical structures are developed and a software solution is obtained. The importance of work on ensuring high quality of water heat carriers for ensuring long-term and uninterrupted operation of the energy complex from the point of view of technogenic safety, as well as reducing capital and operating costs is shown. The possibility of using the developed software application in training specialists, as well as directly in working conditions, is described.
