“…Some other similar studies have been presented by researchers [103,104,105] however; the considered systems have its individual identical design parameters, manufacturing concepts, components utilized and the working concept or technology. Further, economic, enviro-economic studies, energy matrix analysis, and performance observations for different systems along with special designs have been observed [106,107,108,109,110,111]. But, yet a systematic approach has been reflected on having focused observations in which yield output, efficiency, design parameters and working principle considered for maximum solar irradiative intensity available for a particular clear day in respective climatic conditions or lab conditions have been included.…”

Potable water is one of the vital necessities for the society. The assurance of availability of clean water to society is a big confront due to restricted accessibility of clean water on planet Earth. Solar desalting systems can be used for justifying the appropriate supply of fresh water in distant localities by the use of ample sunlight. In spite of conventional solar desalting systems, various other designs of solar desalting systems are used to boost the overall performance of the system. In this work, various new conceptual designs of passive solar desalting systems have been reviewed to understand better, efficient and productive performing system along with various novel solar desalting systems that can inculcate the real feeling of performing information among the researchers. An overview has also been established for better utility indications and comparative performances among all solar desalting systems. The interpretations have been accomplished with the better results and some favor has also been recommended for the future betterment and building novel designs to meet the feasible hurdles.

“…According to UN-Water (2021), 2.3 billion people live in water-stressed countries, of which 733 million live in critically water-stressed countries. Clean water technologies such as membrane and thermal desalination may be applied to address several long-term potable water demands (Gude 2017;Singh et al 2020;Singh 2021;Singh & Samsher 2021a, 2021b, 2021cVan Vliet et al 2021). Reverse osmosis (RO) polyamide membrane technology plays an essential role in addressing water scarcity due to its capability of producing freshwater from seawater, brackish water, and different types of wastewater (Kucera 2015;Zhao et al 2021).…”

Biofouling of polyamide membranes is one of the main barriers faced by reverse osmosis (RO) technologies to supply fresh water. Currently, biofouling is addressed by feed water pretreatment using chlorine, followed by membrane cleaning. Chlorine damages polyamide membranes and also generates harmful disinfection byproducts. Thus, safer strategies are needed to prevent biofouling in polyamide membrane systems. This review investigates the applicability of the following non-oxidizing biocides in preventing and controlling biofouling in RO systems, including their antimicrobial efficiency, hazard levels, membrane compatibility, and applicability to drinking water treatment: (1) 2,2-dibromo-3-nitropropionamide (DBNPA); (2) 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT); (3) sodium bisulfite (SBS), (4) phenoxyethanol (PE), (5) sodium benzoate (SB). According to this review, MIT and DBNPA present most of the features attributed to an ideal anti-biofouling chemical but also are the most hazardous biocides. Due to safety and efficacy, none of the five chemicals were determined to be the final solution to address membrane biofouling. However, alternative RO biocide research is in early development and requires further investigation via biofouling prevention studies. Therefore, future research efforts on the investigation of economic, eco-friendly, and safe antifouling agents to prevent and treat biofouling in RO systems are paramount to promote sustainable water supply in water-stressed countries.
