“…For several decades, electrodialysis (ED) has been widely used for the isolation of chemical compounds dissolved in water, such as desalination processes for human consumption (Danaeifar et al 2023;Lotfy et al 2022), the concentration of acids (Martí-Calatayud et al 2012), the mineral recovery (Pramanik et al 2017) and the purification of wastewater containing harmful metallic ions to health (Li et al 2023;Tian et al 2021). The ED relevance in these applications is attributed to both its removal efficiency and its main operative advantages, including compact installations and short treatment times (Chang et al 2010;Lotfy et al 2022).…”

4-Nitrophenol is a widely used emerging pollutant in various industries, including the production of agrochemicals, drugs, and synthetic dyes. Due to its potential environmental harmful effects, there is a need to study its reuse and removal from wastewater. In this study, electrodialysis technology was used to separate 4-Nitrophenol ions using a four-compartment stack. The effects of supporting electrolyte concentration, pH, voltages, and current density on the performance of electrodialysis for separating 4nitrophenol were investigated. A high extraction percentage of 77% was achieved with low energy consumption (107 kwh kg -1 ) when high 4-nitrophenol flows and transport numbers were reached.

“…Renewable energy production has received increasing interest and will play an important role in our pursuit of achieving a carbon-neutral future. In this context, producing energy from renewable sources is a major requirement for decreasing the dependence on fossil resources and thus alleviating the current threats related to climate change [8]. In that direction, biomass valorization offers infinite possibilities in terms of producing renewable energy to satisfy the increasing demand of today's industry and meet the requirements of a carbon-neutral post-petroleum society and contribute to energy and environmental sustainability [9].…”

Worldwide climate change, rising population, and industrialization have raised the global demand for freshwater. Desalinating brackish water has become a sustainable technology for drinking and agriculture to overcome global water scarcity. Thriving biodesalination technology has become more attractive and eco‐friendly than the present physicochemical desalination methods, which are expensive and energy‐intensive. Researchers are exploring the bioutilization of nature's potential for desalination using halophiles like haloarchaea, halobacteria, halophytic algae, and plants. Biomimetic desalination membranes have been developed, inspired by the desalination mechanism in animals. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements and potential applications of halophiles in biodesalination to exploit them effectively. It provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with harnessing halophiles for the removal of salts from brackish and seawater sources. This review also focuses on insights into biomolecules produced by the halophilic microorganisms and halophytes in the desalination process. Understanding the mechanism of action of these biomolecules will edify the effective unexplored research areas in biomimicry and bioutilization to overcome the existing limitations in water treatment.
