Journal ArticleDOI
Electrosorption of Inorganic Salts from Aqueous Solution Using Carbon Aerogels
TL;DR: Although carbon aerogel electrodes have been treated as electrical double-layer capacitors, this study showed that ion sorption followed a Langmuir isotherm, indicating monolayer adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
High recovery membrane desalting of low-salinity brackish water: Integration of accelerated precipitation softening with membrane RO
TL;DR: In this article, an effective physical/chemical accelerated precipitation softening strategy for reducing the concentration of scale-forming ions in the primary RO (PRO) concentrate was developed for achieving high product water recovery from desalting of brackish surface water.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-recovery reverse osmosis desalination using intermediate chemical demineralization
TL;DR: A two-stage reverse osmosis (RO) process for high water recovery (up to 95%) desalination of Colorado River water was evaluated and demonstrated at the pilot scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride coagulant residuals on polyamide membrane performance
TL;DR: In this article, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were tested at three different treatment plants in southern California, using either aluminum sulfate (alum) or ferric chloride coagulants and chloramines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced oxidation of polyamide membranes using monochloramine and ferrous iron

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic study suggested that the formation of an amidogen radical (NH 2 ) during NH 2 Cl decomposition with Fe(II) led to the reduction of the activation energy for the chlorination reaction to proceed.
