Solar-pond assisted reverse osmosis-electrodialysis system for seawater desalination and hydroponic fertilizer solution production

Effect of design and operation parameters on solar‐driven membrane‐based desalination systems: An overview

“…Additonally, higher current density and lower SEC were reported for the corrugated membranes compared to the flat ones for the same input voltage and salt removal percentage, respecively (Figure 12d,e). Similarily, Mir and Bicer (2021) explained the thermal performance of a solar pond integrated with RO and ED system for combined hydroponic and desalination solutions as well as reducing the power requirements (see Figure 11e). The ED‐specific energy consumed 1.5 kWh/m 3 .…”

“…Wright et al (2015) studied the design of PV-EDR desalination system experimentally using the system illustrated in Figure 13b. The system was intended to purify 350-3600 ppm brackish groundwater with a recovery rate of 92% and a flow rate of 1.6 m 3 per h.

Enhancing energy efficiency in trapezoidal solar ponds: A synergistic approach utilizing east-west reflector and coal cinder – An energy analysis study

“…The thermal energy stored has diverse applications, including electricity generation, 1,2 industrial processes, 3,4 space heating, 5,6 and water desalination. 7,8 Above it lies the NCZ, which contains water with a gradually decreasing salt concentration from the bottom to the top. This setup acts as an insulating layer, effectively reducing convection currents between the LCZ and the UCZ.…”
