“…Highlighted in this Special Issue is the use of specialized membranes that impact the energy production. Membrane research in the energy sector has used the concept of salinity gradient exchange (SGE), utilizing the chemical potential between waters of differing salinity levels [8]. The difference in salinity levels causes water to move across semipermeable membranes via the principles of osmosis where the energy is harvested using the pressurized water from the osmotic movement which can spin turbines to generate energy.…”
From water desalination and gas purification to metal recovery and beyond, membrane separation has become integral to numerous industrial applications [...]

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
