“…Then, in light of the obtained results, PREDICO+ electrodisinfection technology with commercial cells provided by CONDIAS may be presented as a low-cost process for the treatment of pore water due to its low energy consumption (ranging from 0.21-1.4 kWh m -3 ), which appears to be one of the advantages of this technology. With these energy requirements, it can be easily connected to renewable energy sources, and then, it can be implemented in the most remote areas (Melián-Martel et al, 2021;Mir and Bicer, 2021;Tomaszewska et al, 2021); (Ganiyu et al, 2020).…”

“…Water shortages are due in part to rising human demand and to pollution and climate change. Global warming has also led to a decrease in freshwater (Tomaszewska et al, 2021). Regarding the production of electricity based on wind and solar energy, it can be appreciated that it is variable (Angheluta et al, 2019).…”

“…It is desirable that natural resources be exploited in the most sustainable way possible. Increasing the share of renewable resources can contribute to a significant impact on the environment, but also in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Tomaszewska et al, 2021). The rational use of renewable energy sources favorably affects the environment (Bodislav et al, 2021).…”

The use of renewable energy sources offers opportunities for regional and local development. Thus, it can be appreciated that the use of renewable sources can stimulate the development of local communities. An advantage is also given by an increased security in terms of local energy supply, but also by a reduction in energy transport losses. Recently, there has been some interest in investing in the development of energy generation technologies and especially in renewable sources. For the period 1990-2020, a comparative situation of gross electricity production and electricity production capacities for renewables is presented. Pollution and climate change can affect both the production and consumption of electricity. There has been interest in using more and more diverse sources. Given the interest in reducing energy consumption in transport, important measures are needed to increase the energy efficiency of transport. In the article, an analysis is made of the share of renewable energy in the final gross energy consumption, for the period 2004-2020, with particularization for the transport sector.

“…Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, and ocean thermocline are some of the renewable energies that can be utilized for generating power to operate the industrial desalination processes. Effective use of renewable energy sources helps to minimize the usage of fossil fuel energy and thereby the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [7][8][9][10] .…”

In this study, an electrohydrodynamic atomization or electrospraying technique is used for the uniform deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on a commercially available PTFE membrane and employed for Membrane Distillation (MD) process. Modified PTFE-CNT membrane was characterized for water contact angle, liquid entry pressure (LEP), pore size distribution, and surface morphology. The electrospray coating of CNT on the PTFE membrane enhances the turbulence and thereby the temperature polarization coefficient (TPC). The pore size of the micropatterned PTFE-CNT membrane has been reduced and pore size distribution has been narrowed compared to the PTFE membrane. Field-effect scanning electron microscopy images of the membranes were observed before and after the MD process. Functionally graded PTFE-CNT membrane showed superior desalination performance compared to the PTFE membrane with less amount of cake layer formation on the membrane surface. Water vapor flux remained constant during 24-h continuous MD process operation with 99.99% rejection of inorganic salts.
